Question

write a story about 100 words of giant ants

Answer 1

re was a caterpillar, hungry enough to chow down on the flower buds of a plant known for its toxic fumes. One day, the caterpillar left the plant and fell to the ground. There, an ant passing by picked it up and took it back to the ant nest to care for the little caterpillar. The caterpillar made itself at home and started eating all the larvae in the ant nest until one day it turned into a beautiful butterfly.

The story is true and the players — oregano, the Large Blue butterfly and the red ant called Myrmica — have a unique relationship, the details of which scientists have just unraveled, reports Nicholas Wade for The New York Times. The toxic fumes and apparent betrayal by the caterpillar make the story a little less children’s book and a little more classic Mother Nature.
