An international team of researchers reported in a new issue of the online edition of the American journal "Contemporary Biology" that they found in the experiment that a butterfly larvae can use their secretions to enslave ants and make ants their "guardians".
Purple butterfly larvae secrete sweet body fluids, and ants that eat this "honey juice" will stay around the larvae for a long time and attack the natural enemies of the purple butterfly larvae, so that the larvae can avoid predation.
Researchers at Kobe University and the University of Ryukyu in Japan, in collaboration with their counterparts at Harvard University in the United States, found that after the two-needled ant sucked the "honey juice" of the purple butterfly, the amount of activity decreased, and it seemed to lose the ability to return to the nest for a long time, and became more aggressive.
Further studies found that after smoking "honey juice", the amount of neurotransmitter dopamine in the brain of the double needle ant related to desire and pleasure was significantly reduced. When dopamine-inhibiting substances are dropped into the dopamine-inhibiting ants that do not use "honey juice," they also become less crawling around.
