Meet the Diabolical Ironclad Beetle. It’s Almost Uncrushable.

On the asphalt of a sun-soaked parking lot, he placed a mottled black beetle on a pillow of dirt and had a colleague run it over with a Toyota Camry. Twice.
Just about any other bug would have died. This one, a species called Phloeodes diabolicus, did not.
“Yeah, it’s still alive,” Dr. Rivera narrated matter-of-factly, as he prodded the still-intact beetle on the video. “It’s playing dead. But it’s still alive.”
I think someone should run over these fuckers with a Volkswagon Beetle and see if they like it.
Ant Acids
As an ant attacks an apple,
an aardvark attacks an ant,
and an ant ascends
as an ascorbic appetizer.
Adamant about alternative applications,
Anthony asks,
"are ant, apple, and aardvark associations
actually amounting an allegorical account?",
as an assistant adjusts an acid acuity analyzer.

Annnnnd it's finally been found. One of them, at least.
Nest of 'murder hornets' in Washington state 1st in US: Officials say
Washington state entomologists discovered the first Asian giant hornet nest in the United States this week, officials said.
The nest was found after four live hornets were caught this week in traps the agriculture department set up in the area. Entomologists were able to attach radio trackers to three of the hornets, and one of them led them to the nest -- located in the cavity of a tree on private property -- Wednesday afternoon, officials said. The team observed dozens of hornets entering and leaving the tree.

The Murder Hornet Hunters of Paris
And other tales of hives and honeybees in the City of Light.
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/28/style/the-murder-hornet-hunters-of-paris.html
The Asian hornet first appeared in southwest France in 2004, possibly having traveled from Southeast Asia as a stowaway in a pottery shipment that docked in Bordeaux. “I actually did not imagine this species would reach the capital,” said Adrien Perrard, 33, a researcher of bee biodiversity at Sorbonne University. But in 2015, it did.
