The entire trap is glued together by a special fugnus culti vated by the ants. they punch hales all along its surface, big enought to poke their heads through. The worker ants then clamber inside the trap and wait. As soon as an insect lands on the trap, the andts that live in the holes grasp the creature by its legs and antennae, thus making escape impossible. The ants keep stinging the prey until it dies after which they curry it to their nest. What do the ants do with the tiny fibers of the stem hair? |
