Rove Beetles. These long-bodied beetles look something like earwigs and are found in the same habitat, under rocks, logs and ...

One sub-group of rove beetles that exploits army ants has evolved the lifestyle at least 12 times, independently, from a free-living ancestor (as most of the sub-group is).

He argues that the rove beetles have survived and succeeded because they've found various chemical strategies to defend against ants—and live alongside them, sometimes even inside their nests.

The 67,000 known species of rove beetle now have a one-of-a-kind genius to call their own, with the naming of evolutionary biologist Joseph Parker as a new MacArthur fellow.
