Scientists just found one of nature's sneakiest spies
77% Informative
A newly discovered blow fly larva in Morocco may just be nature’s best spy.
The larva has taken infiltration to an entirely new level by disguising itself as one of the termites.
The trick, then, is their butt, which is shaped just like a termite's head and features fake eyes and tentacles.
The larvae also appear to mimic the scent of the real termites, too.
