These beetles use a yellow protein as a building material to house and protect symbiotic bacteria 🦠 The insect packages the bacteria into small gelatinous spheres & glues them onto the outside of each of its eggs. Around 11 days later, the beetle larva hatches & eats the bacteria-containing spheres
