There is an ant right there!!
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 too! They look like friends!
(Photo by Andreas Kay )
If you like this beetle check out this recent post from @apsciencebydan -- it's what got me researching the species.
