Tiny cleaner ants scale the bodies of giant ants to remove debris and pathogens in a striking display of Arizona desert symbiosis. This rare behavior, captured by researchers, shows how two ant species cooperate for mutual survival in harsh conditions. Entomologist Mark Moffett's observations reveal a partnership akin to ocean cleaning stations, challenging typical views of ant competition.
