This Bug Stacks Ants On Its Back π¨π
The Deadly Strategy of the Assassin Bug
The Assassin Bug's Hunting Technique
- An assassin bug attacks an ant, injecting saliva that liquefies the ant's internal organs.
- After killing the ant, the bug consumes it entirely, leaving only an empty shell behind.
- Instead of discarding the empty shell, the assassin bug glues it onto its back as a form of armor.
- The bug can stack over 20 ant corpses on its body, enhancing its protection against predators.
- When threatened by counterattacking ants, they swarm around these corpses in defense.
