Screenshot Saturday - Phorid Flies

[Mike]

The mortal enemy of many ant species, the tiny phorid fly may look as unassuming but it harbours a deadly secret. It can quickly lay its eggs on the bodies of vulnerable ants. The eggs will hatch into maggots that burrow into the body of the ant, eating its innards and inevitably killing it.

Leafcutter ants are not entirely defenseless against such a gruesome fate, however. The tiny minims - which under normal circumstances rarely if ever leave the nest - can hitch a ride on the back of their much larger nestmates, fending off the attacking phorids and sparing their sisters from being eaten from the inside out.

In Empires of the Undergrowth, phorid flies will feature in the upcoming challenge mode for levels 3.1 and 3.2. They join the mole crickets and tiger beetle larvae in our menagerie of critters for people who like an extra twist on their levels, or who just want to collect some extra royal jelly!
