Comments Not only does this little beetle look like an ant, it also lives around ant nests. Little is known about the biology of Araeoschizus, including whether or not the beetle's odd shape is related to its ant-friendly habits.

This page is a Tree of Life Branch Page.

Each ToL branch page provides a synopsis of the characteristics of a group of organisms representing a branch of the Tree of Life. The major distinction between a branch and a leaf of the Tree of Life is that each branch can be further subdivided into descendent branches, that is, subgroups representing distinct genetic lineages.

For a more detailed explanation of the different ToL page types, have a look at the Structure of the Tree of Life page.
