waaw the beast, i have never seen it, does the animal congregate like ants ....
Like many wasp species, and unlike true ants, Panda Ants do not live in colonies and also do not have queens and workers 🌷🌷🌷🙋
the panda ant once lived alone, must have many obstacles that he faced
often fall prey to ant eaters, but every animal and insect have their own weapons and armor in order to protect themselves. Insects have thrived on our planet for hundreds of millions of years.They may be small, but they've come up with all kinds of ways to keep from being eaten.
waaah i'm proud of @liquidflame, @liquidflame smart with this animal science
Thank you so much @rudirach 💐
I'm a Nature's lover and I just love animals of all kinds. from colourful flowers to breathtaking views to squawking birds. animals have families, friends and feelings just like us. They can feel joy, pain, love, etc. Love. It's not only an emotion expressed by humans. Animals have the capacity to express their love for one another too. We are all one, that bird, that tree, that river, that other human, we are all one in nature, and i'm just nature's lover.
