God has an enemy - Cremastocheilus Beetle
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the Americas a tiny brown or black beetle lives that most of us would not even
notice. In fact, most of you would probably just step on it if you came across it. But,
this little beetle has a interesting story.
This beetle happens to be a parasite. We usually think of a parasite as something that
lives in or on us and makes us ill or itch. But this beetle is a parasite on ants!
Its state is Cremastocheilus (Kree-mast-oh-kyle'-us), sometimes called the
anteater scarab and is nothing special to see at. But, it has an amazing ability. It is
able to regulate the way it smells.
If you are up to date next ants, then you know that they are skilled to acknowledge others in
their colonies considering their marvelous sense of smell. They cannot accomplish it by sight, because
they cannot see extremely well. In fact, some ants are unconditionally blind. So, subsequent to two ants
meet, they will clash the other ant with their antennae collecting minute amounts
of chemicals in special receptors that permit them to identify if the new ant is friend
or foe.
Incredibly, the Cremastocheilus beetle can amend the pretension it smells. subsequent to it is time
for the female beetle to lay her eggs, she will go to an ant nest and mosey going on to the
entrance. She after that changes the habit she smells for that reason that the ants will think that she
is an ant from that colony.
Once she has passed the guards, she makes her exaggeration the length of into the ant nest and
finds the nursery. She after that lays her eggs in subsequently the ant eggs.
When the baby beetle hatches, it smells in the manner of a baby ant. But, it does not eat what
baby ants eat. It eats baby ants! The ants take care of it anyway, because to them
it smells right.
When the baby beetle gets big enough, it will pupate and next become an adult.
As an adult, it leaves the ant nest to locate different adult beetle to mate with. The
female will after that locate choice ant nest and start the cycle exceeding again.
When I think of this beetle, it reminds me a lot of God's enemy, sin. We are so
blind, that in many respects we are just behind the ant. We think that sin is normal
in our lives and fittingly we just tend to ignore it. We infatuation special dealing out from God
to take on and destroy the sin in our lives.
If we don't get rid of the sin, it will ruin the most exaggerated things in our
lives and eventually execute us as well. Let's ask God to support us to locate the
parasites in our lives and ruin them.

Resources
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have not been accomplished to find common books with pictures of Cremastocheilus in them.
However, there are a few published upon the web. I recommend going to Google.com and
clicking upon the images tab. after that search for cremastocheilus and you should be able
to locate an image or two.
If you want to collection some specimens, the easiest habit to pull off that is to put a large
flat rock upon the nest of one of the large carpenter ant colonies found in most pine
forests. You can tell them, because they create a large pile of pine needles and if
you listen, you can hear them rustling just about inside. To catch some, place a large
flat rock upon the side of the nest. arrive help in a few days afterward the sun has been
warming going on the rock. One of these beetles can often be found warming occurring under the
rock.
