Due to high competition with other predators and predation, Metatestudius universaoculusii started to seek out carcasses which lead them to encounter groups Tridactylus kleptoparsutii doing the same. They competed at first but they eventually coevolved into a mutualistic relationship.

A group of 30-20 Tridactylus cornucauda will seek out a carcass to feed on. M. karcharimati will acts as a predator alert, using their complex eyes to detect any predators. Once they do, they’ll alert T. cornucauda by tapping on it which is when they will all collectively display their brightly colored tails and wave them in a rhythmic pattern to intimidate the predator before swimming to safety.

Their eyes now have an improved vision radii and range; their forelegs now possess more enzymes glands and have become shorter, more knife-like, to cut up their food.

They will lay their eggs in vegetation. Once the larvae have hatched, they will feed on the refuse matter until they have the energy to pupate, during which they will burrow into the ground like their ancestors. Once they’ve emerged as adults, they will join with other groups of their own species and T. Cornucauda. Reproduction happens when groups meet and mate
