What is really happening?

in #hive-17768211 days ago

The scene that I saw that morning was a little bit surprising because it was the first time I saw it. This is about a weevil that was surrounded by some black ants, and this weevil seemed to be still alive, as it moved a few time on the duration when I took the photos below.

As you can see the small weevil was surrounded by 3 black ants, and at times it was more than that which unfortunately I could not get in the photo.

I found them early in the morning, and some insect was not really that active in the morning, and because of that, it might be the reason the weevil was not moving or trying to defend itself.

I found them in the wild spinach leaves, and this weevil was one of the pest on the spinach. sometimes they will bore a hole, either trying to get food or to lay egg for reproduction.

I am to really sure what happening here, but certainly an interesting thing to photograph.

Hey @ekavieka, here is a little bit of BEER from @pixresteemer for you. Enjoy it!

Maybe the ants have sensed that this weevil is weak and rush to eat, or else all of them are just playing. Anyway, the chances of this are less but whatever it is you've captured something unique as always, friend!😎

haha, that is might be the case as well. But I guess I am lucky to be able to see them playing.

I think that the weevil is sick and the ants are helping in some ways to cure it, I could be dead wrong though!
Amazing picture shots :)

haha, yes that is one of the possibilities. Very interesting, but very much unlikely happening.
