However, patrolling ants attack and kill adult beetles and remove all beetle eggs laid bare on ant-tended coffee plants." https://phys.org/news/2012-08-predatory-beetles-eavesdrop-ants-chemical.html |

| PAS_2 | "Ants as biological control agents in agricultural cropping systems - Ants positively impact agricultural systems by rapidly consuming large numbers of pest insects, disturbing pests during feeding and oviposition, and increasing soil quality and nutrients. The ability of ants to control pest species has been recognized since the year 300 A.D. and farmers continue to conserve and promote ant populations in agricultural systems worldwide. Naturally occurring ant species in milpas, mango, citrus, coconut, cashews, and cotton control many pest insects." https://www.researchgate.net/publication/233526783_Ants_as_biological_control_agents_in_agricultural_cropping_systems#:~:text=Ants%20positively%20impact%20agricultural%20systems,increasing%20soil%20quality%20and%20nutrients.&text=Naturally%20occurring%20ant%20species%20in,cotton%20control%20many%20pest%20insects. |
