Beetle #Clytra #laeviuscula (#Chrysomelidae) is #myrmecophilous. Its juveniles carry cases of feces for #antprotection. F. A. Agrain et al. (2015) state that myrmecophily in #leafbeetles only appears in #Clytrini and #Cryptocephalini within #Cryptocephalinae. Numbers of origins of the strategy are unknown, but there were preadaptations as e.g. feces cases.

The #antbagbeetle #Clytra laeviuscula (#Chrysomelidae, #Coleoptera) is a #phytophagous #beetle #species widespread in Europe with a #myrmicophilic relationship of the #larvae and #pupae to #antnests of the genera #Formica, #Lasius and Camponotus. The larva lives mainly from the food of the ant larvae. It is protected from ant attacks by own dropping pieces (#skatoconches). Pupation also takes place in this protected manner. #evolution #biodiversity

A female ant bag beetle (Clytra laeviuscula), ca. 10 mm.

The larvae of this beetle develop for two years in ant colonies, during which time they eat anything they can find, from waste to ant larvae.
The adult beetles are vegetarian.

1) C'est une année à Chrysomèles, ces petits coléoptères lisses et colorés mangeurs de feuilles (famille des doryphores, tu vois ?). Plein de chrysomèle de la menthe (Chrysolina herbacea) sur… le lamier blanc (peu de menthe ici), chemises à rayures cette année 🕺 #Chrysomelidae
2) Variante de couleur aussi chez la cétoine dorée (Cetonia aurata), habituellement verte : ici presque noires. Ça, ça mange des fleurs au soleil ☮️ 🍹 cool la vie, scrunch miôm miôm. #cetoineDorée #Cetonia #insecte
