Coleoptera Paussinae - Ant Nest Beetles
Paussinae common name is Ant Nest Beetles because they live in a myrmecophilous association with ants. They are also known as Flanged Bombardier Beetles because when disturbed they eject to the attackers, from the anus, an irritant explosive secretion.
Paussinae have characteristic flattened antennae and legs.
They feed on ant eggs, larvae and adults by piercing the abdomen of the prey and sucking the content.
