Scientists discover “cleaner ants” that groom giant ants in Arizona desert
In the Arizona desert, scientists have uncovered a bizarre and almost unbelievable partnership between ants: tiny cone ants acting as “cleaners” for much larger harvester ants. Instead of attacking, the smaller ants crawl over the giants, licking and nibbling their bodies—even venturing between their open jaws—while the larger ants calmly allow it. The scene resembles underwater “cleaning stations,” where small fish groom predators like sharks.

That was pretty accurate! They have two toes and an inflatable sac that might have two lobes.

I am both repulsed by the idea of anyone remaking my beloved "THEM!" and intrigued by what Michael Giacchino might do with such a remake.
