For years I have read about and seen pictures of Rove Beetles (Staphylinidae) that live symbiotically with ants, but have never actually seen them in the flesh, so to speak. I did not realize that they would be as numerous as your great photos reveal. I guess I had better use your example and join in flipping rocks -- I might just get lucky like you.cestoadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653689058424312225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757093280387768593.post-49106252097216057722008-09-07T11:32:00.000-04:002008-09-07T11:32:00.000-04:00Looks like you hit the jackpot!
