Oddbean new post about login | logout So, @889093a5 got me thinking about rove beetles, while searching for a silly drawing I did of one I found ... this ... individual? er- these individuals? The rove beetle, bottom has grown a "termite puppet" on it's back to trick termites into feeding it. That's the problem with being a eusocial insect, some little fool is always pulling a con. Rove beetles also run with army ants. Though, there is some evidence sometimes it's less parasitic and more mutual. https://www.tumblr.com/chickenorthedickhead/728064653156057088/researchers-have-discovered-a-new-species-of-rove?source=share https://cdn.masto.host/sauropodswin/media_attachments/files/111/077/071/146/790/481/original/587f3382da7d6bcd.png
@889093a5 Growing a start-up bro with half baked ideas full of the most recent buzzwords on my back so I can get venture capital. By modulating air through a series of slits he makes sounds like: "biiitcoooin" or "A I..." When they try to hand him checks I reach out and grab them from underneath.
