From cogbooks module 7.1: how could something as complex as the behavior of ant-parasitizing lomechusa (staphylinid beetles) have evolved?

these are beetles with special glands, behavior, and body-shape that trick ants into taking them into their nests. inside the ant-nest, these beetles act as parasites, feeding on ant brood and being fed by the ants.

a. these complex behaviors may have arisen gradually through natural selection.
b. complex structures and behaviors such as lomechusa beetles often appear suddenly in the natural world - with little natural precedent.
c. many lomechusa beetles already have pre-existing glands and behaviors that could potentially be co-opted and modified through time.
d. both a and c from

Whenever diploid populations are in hardy-weinberg equilibrium at a particular locus a) the allele's frequency should not change from one generation to the next, but its representation in homozygous and heterozygous genotypes may change. b) natural selection, gene flow, and genetic drift are acting equally to change an allele's frequency. c) this means that, at this locus, two alleles are present in equal proportions. d) the population itself is not evolving, but individuals within the population may be evolving.
