✍️ Entomologist Mark Moffett discovered a unique behavior in desert ants where a species of ant would clean another, similar to a cleaning station for fish.
👉 Ants of different species interact in a unique way in the desert 👉 One species of ant (Pogonomyrmex barbatus) allows another species (Dorymyrmex) to clean them 👉 The cleaning behavior was observed multiple times, with up to five ants climbing on one ant at a time
