Para proteger a la reina y la colonia, las obreras ejecutan un ataque suicida: su anatom\u00eda permite que los m\u00fasculos internos se desgarren con facilidad al picar, dejando el aguij\u00f3n y el saco de veneno incrustados en su objetivo. Al interpretar cualquier movimiento cercano como una amenaza, atacan preventivamente al enjambre. A pesar de su temible reputaci\u00f3n, establecen fascinantes lazos entre especies. Aves como los caciques construyen deliberadamente sus nidos junto a las colonias de Polybia rejecta, aprovechando su ferocidad para ahuyentar a monos y otros depredadores. Hormigas, aves y avispas conviven en total armon\u00eda compartiendo el territorio. En cuanto a su dieta, cazan principalmente huevos de ranas de ojos rojos y ranas de nido de espuma. Cuando atrapan presas pesadas, las recolectoras despiezan a los insectos grandes para transportarlos al nido por partes. Tuve la oportunidad de observar a estos fascinantes insectos durante una de mis primeras visitas al bosque protegido de La Perla, en la costa de Ecuador. Por suerte, no mostraron ninguna se\u00f1al de agresividad, muy probablemente porque nos encontramos lejos de su nido.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Polybia rejecta es una
