🐜🌵 Entomologist Mark Moffett observed tiny cone #ants climbing onto red harvester ants to lick and nibble their bodies.

The larger harvester ants remain completely motionless during these sessions and even allow the smaller ants to groom inside their open jaws. The interaction mirrors cleaning stations found in the #ocean where small #fish remove #parasites from larger #predators.

品質低下
現代社会では効率化やコスト削減ばかりを求める構図、いやっ、悪文化が形成されている。「とにかく早く出せ」、「奴らより先に出せ」、そうして圧力を掛け品質の低下を招いてるのが実態。

Declining quality
In modern society, a bad culture has been formed that demands efficiency and cost reduction. "Just hurry up," "Get it out before them," and this pressure has led to a decline in quality.

Деградація якості
У сучасному суспільстві сформувалася структура, а точніше погана культура, яка прагне лише ефективності та зниження витрат.
