1
You might not guess it, but this Alcon blue butterfly is a parasite whose offspring will live highly unusual lives.
2
She lays pinhead-sized eggs on a wildflower and is off.
3
The first tiny caterpillar hatches a few days later.
4
After two weeks living within a flower bud, he embarks on a high-risk operation that will require infiltrating a densely guarded fortress undercover.
5
He secretes a thread of silk and descends to the ground.
6
Here, he's more vulnerable than ever, but he holds still and waits.
7
His descent perfectly coincides with the peak foraging hours of the nearby red ant colony.
8
Soon enough, a worker ant encounters the caterpillar.
9
She inspects his cuticle with her sensitive antennae and picks up on key chemical cues that she uses to recognize her kin.
10
This is all part of the caterpillar's disguise.
11
The worker picks him up and reverses course.
12
Indeed, the caterpillar doesn't battle his way into the fortress.
13
No— he wouldn't stand a chance.
14
He's shepherded in because the ant is treating him like one of her colony's own larvae.
15
They pass legions of ants poised to attack invaders and enter the intricately architected, subterranean nest, which is sheltered, moist, and stockpiled with resources.
16
If the caterpillar's mimicry didn't work, he might have been left for dead or taken as food himself.
17
Instead, the ant places the caterpillar in the nursery, among the colony's own cherished brood.
18
Here, he produces sugary secretions that the worker ants feed from.
19
The nurse ants dote upon him, regurgitating food into his mouth frequently.
20
But he has a voracious appetite.
21
He arches his body in a begging posture to obtain more food, and, every now and then, eats one of his own nestmates.
22
The caterpillar also does things that the ant larvae can't: he makes noises that sound a lot like those emitted by the ant queens.
23
In effect, he signals that he's royalty and should be prioritized over the actual ant larvae.
24
And that's exactly what happens.
25
The nurse ants feed him extra.
26
And when a wild boar causes part of the nest to collapse, the ants rescue the caterpillar first.
27
While members of the ant colony suffer reduced survival rates because of the burdensome caterpillar, he passes the harsh winter living like royalty.
28
Come June, he's stored up plenty of nutrients to make a dramatic transformation.
29
He forms his chrysalis, and for three weeks, he uses a tooth-and-comb organ to create more queen-like acoustic vibrations, attracting workers to clean him.
30
Then, at dawn one day, he emerges an adult butterfly.
31
Wings still wet, his body easily fits through the gallery opening, and finally, 11 months after being taken in, he basks in the sun and begins searching for a mate.
32
When he dies about a week later, he'll have spent the vast majority of his life in the realm of the ants.
33
The Alcon blue is one of as many as 200 parasitic butterfly species, all of which target ants.
34
Sometimes, multiple caterpillars inhabit the same ant colony at once.
35
Some stay for almost two years.
36
But researchers are still parsing these complex relationships.
37
For instance, certain ants guard Japanese oakblue caterpillars from predators and consume the sugary secretions the caterpillars produce in return.
38
But it turns out that this sweet concoction isn't a simple form of mutual assistance.
39
Instead, chemicals in the secretions actually manipulate the ants' behavior, inhibiting their movement and making them more protective and aggressive caterpillar guards.
40
Despite these masterful manipulations, parasitic butterflies are vulnerable themselves.
41
They're also the targets of parasitism.
42
Even within their adopted, high-security hideaways, parasitoid wasps sometimes track the caterpillars down and lay eggs on their bodies.
43
When the wasp larvae hatch, they consume the caterpillars alive.
44
And because their life cycles consist of such a complex choreography involving specific plants and ants, small environmental changes can affect their populations.
45
One parasitic butterfly species actually went extinct in the UK in 1979, before being reintroduced a few years later.
46
They've since rebounded alongside efforts to restore the meadow habitats their host ants require to thrive— helping preserve these riveting relationships and the astonishing adaptations they inspire.

"Would you raise the baby that ate your siblings? - Francesca Barbero"으로 쉐도잉 기법을 사용해 영어를 연습합니다.

매일 15~30분 꾸준히 연습하면 IELTS 스피킹에 대한 자신감이 길러집니다.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
