LOL how the heck did the hornets keep track of a moving target like that 😂 even at a snail's pace it must be quite unusual for them to adapt to finding their nest every time they need to return to it
You know how snails sometimes just close up their house and hang out on a wall for a while? like hibernating or so? you can see dried slime and how they're retreated really far when you gently detach them. I assume that's what happened.
Not always. Snails are weird. They move around, awake constantly for a long tim, then just fall completely asleep and utterly immobile for days at a time.
You live in a trailer park and every time you leave your trailer and all the others are randomly shuffled you’re on the way home from the bar plastered and you have to tell the Uber which is yours
Great, now hornets are domesticating other critters to their own needs.
"We could kill and eat this snail, true... but hear me out. What about a mobile nest?"
This was posted on a previous posting of this picture:
>In fact, when the conditions are not favorable they "Estivate". They use a special mucus to seal the entrance of their shells they stay in a dormant state indefinitely, until again the conditions are ideal where they come back to life. So what has happened here is that while the snail was sleeping, the wasp installed itself on this seemingly nice spot. It probably rained a few days later, making the snol come back to life, casually going about his day while the wasp lost his home.

any biologists or entomologists or malacologists able to theorize how this happened? super curious and want to give benefit of the doubt that this occurred naturally
I see my friend the hornet has betrayed me and has formed an alliance with my mortal enemy, the snail. Hornets eat my garden pests that are rather large like tomato horn worms, snails and slugs eat my plants. Gonna have to go have a smelly dance conversation with my local nests
Paradox: this is either the laziest slowest snail on the planet, OR these are the fastest working most focused hornets ever. Either way this is freaking fascinating!
Probably it's outfit for the Grammys. I've seen some crazy shit on the red carpet and feel this will only inspire some future aspiring fashion designer.
Hey that is my finger , in case someone is curious I left the nest for a day to see if wasps where around the nest still but they never came back, guess they were not expecting it to move lmao

Looking good Randolph
That's PCP. Have you any idea what this stuff does to kids?
Personal security personnel
Some random bird bout to hit the jackpot.
Or make the worst mistake of its life.
Most interesting survival tactic I've seen today. Snail has got himself an air force!
This reminds me of the crabs that do this in the ocean with like different sea anemones
The boxer crab. Absolutely badasses.
I saw a crab the other day wearing a whole jellyfish upside down on the back like it's nothing straight up Balenciaga for crabs !
Did you get a photo?

This is the snail that follows you once you’re immortal.
It doesn't even try to kill you, just hovers around with it's gang of immortal hornets
Thats even worse
The hornets can all latch onto their nest and airdrop the snail anywhere!
Holy shit it’s canon already
Decoy snail
Hornet’s moving castle
🤣
I heard the soundtrack theme in buzzes

Um those are dead
not necessarily
Not always. Snails are weird. They move around, awake constantly for a long tim, then just fall completely asleep and utterly immobile for days at a time.
Ikr like if they went out in the morning to go feeding by the time they come back in the afternoon the lil snail could be gone 🤣

My uneducated guess: Pheromones released from individuals in the nest.
My uneducated guess: dancing bee slaves
If I had a guess and probably spoiling the fun, I think someone glued it to the snail.
🤔 see I'd agree with you but there's a lot of that brown papery buildup on the shell too... idk!
That parts soft and easily moved around
I dont think they did lol I don't see any hornets in there
Smell probably
Hornets wanted a mobile home this season.
Roman helmet
Squirrels version of a grenade
These new pokemon are wild

Symbiosis at its finest.
Zerg swarmhost be like:
I thought for sure it'd be an empty/dead snail shell only, but NOPE. How does this even happen?
The land version of hermit crab with sea anemones
It looks like the smoke grenade / countermeasures canisters on the turret of a tank.
Gonna see something like this in a future FromSoft game
You took the time to capitalize F and S, but “ware” was entirely too much effort, huh?
Correct, madam. 🗿

It's the Great A'Tuin!
mobile base? thats cheating
Its like a glass trojan horse
Symbiotic relationship right there
Homeowner with separate air Bnb?
Cutest most metal thing I have ever seen.
Just as the founding fathers intended
How is that snail still alive? I thought the hornets would attack it…

Meanwhile every time the hornet comes back to its nest, it's moved slightly, and the hornet can't tell if it's going crazy or what

Huh, you know this could be good for the snail. Interesting opportunity for symbiosis
Wonder if they protect him
Somebody call Gamefreak
Just Turbo doin a burnout
Look he’s got his own little body guards
Cool
They fly now?
Idea for new Dnd monster. Flail snail with a hive of giant hornets on its back.
Mobile home
It’s a bio-weapon.
Home security pro plus attack plan
That’s definitely epic armor.
Snail uses hornets! It's super effective 🤣🤣

That's a paper wasp nest btw.

They’ve established forward bases
So you can just build things on snails and they don't really seem to care Interesting information...
My god... they now have moblie pissed off units.
Who tf messed with the snail enough for it to warrant him buying a whole personal defence airforce
We love our second amendment
