On: Beetle grows ‘termite’ on back to steal food

[eru]

The colour replication might be a co-incidence?

[joebob42 → eru]

Or alternatively, those colors are good for a beetle with a termite on its back for the same reason they're good for a termite. They help whatever the termite looks like blend in to the area where termites usually are.

[qup → eru]

Or a result of diet.

[selcuka → qup]

The beetle itself has a different colour than the puppet, though.
