Plants Ants Costa Rica

Costa Rica Butterflies, ants, plants and bulbs



A butterfly lays its eggs on plants is when the larvae begin feeding on the eggs laying on the ground. It's like giving birth to a baby in an all you can eat buffet and the baby just stay and eat lunch buffet. They say it's more or less the butterfly larva is "eating machines".

Ants in many parts of the forest have a symbiotic relationship with plants. What does the word symbiotic say? Close symbiotic relationship between two species benefit or dependence. In the jungle of the relationship between ants and plants in many cases, is symbiotic.
 Ants feed on plants are essentially extra nectaries sugar factory produces ant.


It is in the best interest of the ant in order to protect the plant because the plant is the food source for the ants. In return, the ants protect the plant against predators. This is where the larvae of butterflies and plants are known.

If a butterfly lays its eggs on a plant that has a symbiotic relationship with a species of ant that can be expected from the ants to destroy the eggs before the larva has the chance to be born and start eating the plant can cause the plant dies.


There are many plants in the jungle with a symbiotic relationship with ants. So then of course not the butterfly eggs eaten by ants?

Well, had to adapt butterfly laying eggs on the tips of the leaves that the ants do not visit. When the eggs are placed here are less likey to discovered and removed by ants.


 The butterfly as recent studies have developed an odor that is discharged from its belly tricks ants into thinking that this is really an ant larvae. Nature continues and continues to adapt to something else.

Now that is something interesting how nature continues to adapt to its environment.
