A spider just built a web around a wasp nest, trapping them inside, while ants are actively raiding the larvae to stockpile for winter.

A Hornbill "anting". They purposely sit on top of ants nest and allow ants to crawl all over them. This helps them with cleaning parasites, feather maintenance and stimulation for feather growth.

This stumbled upon scene kept us occupied and amazed for almost 30 mins on a nice pleasant hike just outside of Blr with friends, + 1 dog. A spider wasp - with her just hunted and immobilsed spider. The caught spider though is not for her to consume...(1/4)

Before telling you about butterflies generally, let me tell you something spectacular about THIS butterfly. Its name is Alcon blue butterfly. It is one of the most famous examples of an extreme social parasite in the butterfly world. How the deception works: After the female Alcon Blue lays her eggs and they hatch, feeds on the plant for about 2–3 weeks, going through its first three instars (growth stages). When it reaches the fourth instar, the caterpillar drops to the ground and waits. It secretes chemicals (allomones) from a special gland that mimic the exact scent profile of the brood (larvae/pupae) of a myrmica ants. When the worker ants encounter the caterpillar, they'll mistake it for one of their own lost larvae, and carry it back into their underground nest. In some populations, the caterpillar even makes tiny sounds that imitate the “queen ant” calls, which elevates its status inside the colony. Ants will actually prefer feeding the caterpillar over their own larvae! The caterpillar then becomes a ruthless predator and eats hundreds of ant grubs over the next 10–22 months. After almost a year (or even two in some cases), the caterpillar pupates inside the ant nest. The adult butterfly emerges, inflates its wings, and crawls out of the nest (often at dawn when ants are less active). The ants don’t attack it because its scales reduce friction and it may release calming chemicals.

Leafcutter ants don’t eat the leaves—they use them to farm fungus. They carry leaf pieces back to their nest, where they feed them to a special fungus, (Leucoagaricus gongylophorus) which breaks the leaves down. This fungus serves as their primary food source Look at all these ants

Leaf-cutter ants are one of the few species that practice a form of agriculture. These ants cut pieces from leaves, bring them back to their colony, and use them as a substrate to grow a specific type of fungus. This fungus serves as the colony's primary food source.⬇️1/2

Tobey only saw Andrew’s web shooter for a split second and instantly disarmed it, even kicking off the ceiling to land faster. That’s just how experienced his Spider-Man is.
