Description

The Cerastipsocus genus hosts intriguing creatures often seen clustering together on tree bark, resembling a miniature society at work. These social insects utilize a communal approach to caring for offspring, a rare trait among their kin. Their appearance may remind one of bark flakes, a natural camouflage against predators. Intriguingly, Cerastipsocus exhibit a level of social behavior uncommon in many similar species, challenging the typical notion of 'loner' insects and providing a remarkable example of evolutionary adaptation in the insect world.
