Ants and Katakuri's mysterious way of growing seeds
Katakuri flowers, which bloom in spring in mountains and forests, are helped by ants to spread seeds and sow seeds.
Katakuri seeds are produced about two months after the flowers bloom and fall to the ground.
Then, the ants will come right away and put the seeds in their nest, bringing good luck.
At the tips of the seeds, there is a white patch that looks like food that ants like.
For this reason, the ants think of the seeds as something to eat, and luck comes to their nest.
However, after about 2 days, the ants will leave the nest and leave the seeds.
Katakuri seeds will not sprout if placed in a deep place, so this is a good thing for Katakuri.
Why do ants produce seeds?
The white part of the seed has a smell similar to that of a baby ant.
However, after about 24 hours, the smell changes to that of a dead baby ant.
For this reason, the ants release the seeds outside the nest.
Katakuri uses the habit of ants to sow seeds.
