Myrmica sabuleti and Maculinea arion

Tags
Description
After hatching, the larvae (caterpillars) of the large blue butterfly (Maculinea arion), feed on wild thyme flowers and then drop to the ground

An ant (Myrmica sabuleti) strokes the caterpillar, eats the honey the caterpillar exudes, and takes the caterpillar back to the ant nest

The caterpillar lives in the nest and feeds on ant larvae until it metamorphoses into a butterfly
