View this post on Hive: Burying Beetle


A crypto project which sets stakes of its users to zero has nothing to do with the basic ideas of blockchains and cryptocurrencies.
It's a shame to run down such a project and let it go to waste in that way.
As funds on STEEM aren't safe anymore, I moved all over to HIVE.

Interesting - what benefit can the mites provide to the beetle?

Thank you very much @carlgnash

Since flies are often on the dead animals before the Burying Beetles, they also very quickly lay fly eggs in the carcasses. The mites eat these fly eggs and the Burying Beetles have a maggot-free food. The Burying Beetles, for their part, bring the mites directly to their food, the fly eggs.

I found this information here: http://www.natur-lexikon.com/Texte/MZ/001/00078-Totengraeber/MZ00078-Totengraeber.html (German language)

That is awesome. Gotta love nature. I would never have guessed that was a symbiotic relationship by the look of it!

I also had never guessed that it is a symbiosis. I first thought they are eating it ort they are some kind of parasites.
