If evolution is just nature throwing dice, then it would take many, many generations to evolve something that complex. I think we see more of these interesting finds in the world of small animals because they have a much higher frequency of turnover. Therefore a higher statistical probability to produce interesting adaptations. I'm just a layperson so I'm using my own terminology here. Then there's the other interesting possibility, that there is some way to consciously influence the evolution of DNA. I mean it's pretty freaky that this beetle evolved an exact replica of a termite, a creature it presumably spends a lot of time around. How did its DNA "know" to evolve in that diretion? Are there thousands of beetles out there with half assed copies of termites on their backs?
