God has an foe - 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 engaging 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 sick or itch. But this beetle is a parasite upon 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 fiddle with the way it smells.
If you are aware later ants, subsequently you know that they are skilled to tolerate others in
their colonies when their marvelous suitability of smell. They cannot reach it by sight, because
they cannot look extremely well. In fact, some ants are very blind. So, once two ants
meet, they will stroke the extra ant following their antennae collecting minute amounts
of chemicals in special receptors that permit them to identify if the other ant is friend
or foe.
Incredibly, the Cremastocheilus beetle can alter the quirk it smells. following it is time
for the female beetle to lay her eggs, she will go to an ant nest and promenade taking place to the
entrance. She later changes the mannerism she smells consequently that the ants will think that she
is an ant from that colony.
Once she has passed the guards, she makes her habit next to into the ant nest and
finds the nursery. She next lays her eggs in once the ant eggs.
When the baby beetle hatches, it smells following 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 huge enough, it will pupate and subsequently become an adult.
As an adult, it leaves the ant nest to find marginal adult beetle to mate with. The
female will later find different ant nest and start the cycle beyond 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 as soon as the ant. We think that sin is normal
in our lives and for that reason we just tend to ignore it. We habit special giving out from God
to give a positive response and destroy the sin in our lives.
If we don't get rid of the sin, it will ruin the most pretentious things in our
lives and eventually slay us as well. Let's ask God to incite us to find the
parasites in our lives and ruin them.

Resources
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have not been nimble to locate common books when pictures of Cremastocheilus in them.
However, there are a few published upon the web. I recommend going to Google.com and
clicking on the images tab. after that search for cremastocheilus and you should be able
to find an image or two.
If you want to cumulative some specimens, the easiest exaggeration to accomplish 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 say them, because they make a large pile of pine needles and if
you listen, you can hear them rustling roughly inside. To catch some, place a large
flat rock upon the side of the nest. arrive back in a few days afterward the sun has been
warming up the rock. One of these beetles can often be found warming stirring under the
rock.
