Ants win, even in the face of the beetles' 20-fold species advantage.

That seasonal pattern is striking, no?

I've posted enough Friday Beetles that I can no longer remember which species I've already done. Some species were almost posted twice out of sheer forgetfulness.  Must be the academic scatter-brain.

I've heard of "carrion beetles" but this is more like a "carry-on beetle":

Ants also win against termites and quite even with mosquito. However, ants lost big time from butterfly and spider. Interestingly, Australia is always the no. 1 country in the lists.

Yeah, I noticed that about Australia. They must spend all their time googling bugs in that country.

JP- I did match up "Obama" and "Ants", just to see. I'd not put any money on Ants this November, if you know what I mean.
