Answer: Burying beetles

Step-by-step explanation:

Burying beetles provide elaborate parental care to their offspring. Parental beetles defend a small vertebrate carcass, which constitutes the sole food source for the larvae. They also manipulate the carcass in various ways and directly regurgitate pre-digested carrion to the young.

other insects that display parental care are spiders and bees
