The Impenetrable Ant Eater:  Liphyra brassolis

by Jonathan Wojcik (@ BogLeech)

This bizarre little killing machine bears a striking similarity to the maggots of Microdon flies, sharing both  the sucker-like body shape and appetite for ant larva, but while Microdon uses a pheromone disguise to  avoid detection by the ant nest, Liphyra has simply developed the perfect ant-proof body, with a carapace  too thick, smooth and heavy for ants to get any sort of grip on. Shrugging off hundreds of little jaws, the  caterpillar can leisurely devour an entire ant brood grub by grub, trapping them under its shell-like body and  sucking them right out of their own skins. After pupating in the same impenetrable dome, it emerges as a  butterfly covered in soft, sticky scales that easily come off in the ant’s jaws as it flees.
