Black oil beetle
The black oil beetle is a European beetle with an unusual life. It lives in meadows, field edges and other warm places in most of the continent, except the far north. Its young get a ride to a bee's nest, where they feed on the bee's eggs and food stores.1

The larvae can attract bees without a flower by producing a flowery scent, even when they are outside a flower.1
The larvae use well-developed claws to attach themselves to a visiting bee and travel back to its nest.1
Inside the bee's nest, the larva eats the bee's eggs and the pollen and nectar the bee has stored.1
The author Gerald Durrell describes this beetle's life cycle in detail in his autobiographical book My Family and Other Animals.1
After it leaves the bee's nest as an adult, it seeks a mate straight away.1

- Females lay eggs in the soil. The larvae hatch and climb into a flower to wait for solitary bees. After feeding in the bee's nest, the larva pupates there and leaves to seek a mate.1
