Females carry EGG SACS attached to the CHELICERAE (jaws) — different from wolf spiders which attach egg sacs to the spinnerets at the rear. Pisauridae 'mouth-carrying' is a diagnostic family feature.
Native Japanese honeybees defend by mobbing a scout hornet into a 'thermal ball' that reaches 47°C — hot enough to cook the hornet alive without harming the bees.
Honey bees thermoregulate the hive by fanning their wings at the entrance — keeping brood at a constant 32–35°C year-round.
The fungus Leucoagaricus that leafcutters farm has been bred for so long it can no longer reproduce without the ants.
To pull large leaves together, weaver ants form chains body-to-body — sometimes dozens of workers long.
Asian honey bees defend against the giant hornet by mobbing scouts into a thermal ball that reaches 47°C — cooking the hornet alive.
A pioneer female releases trans-verbenol pheromone — within 15 minutes, thousands of beetles arrive and mass-attack the same tree.
