Megalostomis gazella
Author's comments:
Las hembras empacan sus huevos en el interior de un revestimiento, en forma de pequeños brotes para a continuación colocarlos en ellos. Estos son atractivos para las hormigas, que si encuentran uno, lo llevan al interior del nido. Las larvas de los escarabajos viven allí seguros. En la foto se puede ver que el escarabajo está formando un saco de huevos entre sus patas traseras.
Gracias Boris por la explicación.
