Talking Caterpillars: Video

These links will take you to some video clips of ants interacting with caterpillars. Please allow some time for the clips to download.

You will need the QuickTime plugin to view these clips. Most browsers come with the plugin, but if yours doesn't, you can download it for free. (Look for the heading "Download the free player").

It is sometimes difficult to see the action in the videos; but you can use the arrows at the bottom right of each screen to step forward or back frame-by-frame, making the events much easier to see and understand.

TOs being extruded, causing ant to lunge/run (136 kb)
