Symbiotic partner-swapping or long-term fidelity? Partnership success between beetles and

Some insects and microbes develop symbiotic partnerships that become so interdependent they can no longer survive without each other. But how specific are these heritable symbioses? Is it possible for the same species of bacteria to flourish across different species of insect hos
