ambrosia beetle Platipo "coleottero dell’ambrosia"

Explanation:
Ambrosia beetles are beetles of the weevil subfamilies Scolytinae and Platypodinae (Coleoptera, Curculionidae), which live in nutritional symbiosis with ambrosia fungi and probably with bacteria.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambrosia_beetle

Ambrosia fungi are fungal symbionts of ambrosia beetles.

There are a few dozen described ambrosia fungi, currently placed in polyphyletic genera Ambrosiella, Rafaella and Dryadomyces (all from Ophiostomatales, Ascomycetes).[1] Probably many more species remain to be discovered. Little is known about bionomy of ambrosia fungi, as well as about their specificity to ambrosia beetle species. Ambrosia fungi are thought to be dependent on transport and inoculation provided by their beetle symbionts, as they have not been found in any other habitat. All ambrosia fungi are probably asexual and clonal.

....Per questa singolare simbiosi tra fungo e insetto, i Platipodidi (insieme ad alcuni Scolitidi) sono anche noti con il nome di ‘coleotteri dell’ambrosia’
