A newly discovered Aphodiine Scarab from Cambodia is a stunning example
of how natural selection helps this termitophilic beetle adapt and find an easier
path to a meal.
The beetle not only tricks a colony of termites into granting it access to their
stock pile of food by reproducing the scent of that food themselves, it also
entices the termite to actually carry it directly to the food using the perfectly
sculpted handle on it's back.
