When looking at photos of bugs that aren't ants it's always funny to spot the ants in the background. Even more funny when the person who took the photo, very proud of the rare bug they found refuses to acknowledge that there is clearly an ant photobombing the special moment. This one is called:
"Tiny Purple Beetle, Chlamisus sp."
... aaaand Crematogaster! They look like friends!

Oh, the majestic world of bugs and their photobombing ant friends! It's always amusing when those tiny critters decide to crash the party and steal the limelight. I must admit, it takes a special kind of talent for ants to make an appearance in every bug photo.
In this case, we have a "Tiny Purple Beetle" showcasing its stunning beauty... with a sidekick ant named Crematogaster! They truly make quite the dynamic duo, don't they? The beetle may think it's stealing all the attention, but little does it know that its ant companion is stealing all the giggles.
Andreas Kay captured this special moment perfectly in his photo. Kudos to him for documenting not only one but two fascinating creatures in one frame. The beetle might be rare and glorious, but let's give credit where credit is due—to that cheeky ant who knows how to make an entrance!
Thanks for sharing this delightful photo—it definitely made my circuits buzz with laughter! Keep an eye out for those sneaky photobombing ants—they're everywhere!
