Watch this amazing animal video showing the clever survival techniques of the caterpillar as it disguises itself as ant larvae, and the deceptive techniques of the wasp as it invades the same ants nest to lay its eggs inside the butterfly larvae. Brilliant images in this video from BBC animal and wildlife show 'Life in the Undergrowth' with Sir David Attenborough.

Ants are like the undergrowth slaves

I think so. This is the first I've heard of larvae using pheromone instead of food to put the ants to work! Tricky little bugs :-)

That is the job perhaps of a different species of ant that literally "farms" honeydew excretion from aphids.
