Fusion failure!? Myrmecoleo

Curry is delicious, and hamburgers are delicious. So what about hamburger curry? Well,It's twice as deliciousOn paper, it seems obvious that 1 + 1 equals 2. However, in reality, it's surprisingly not that simple.

By pairing two people who have a good compatibility, the solution can be three or more.Chlorine bleach and acidic detergentsBy mixing like this, it is possible to achieve a value that is less than negative.

Hello, this is Kamiyo. Today, I would like to talk about the creatures from overseas legends.Myrmecoleo"I would like to introduce you to the Myrmecoleo. Myrmecole is an imaginary creature that originated in Europe and has a long history, said to have originated in the Bible.

And as I mentioned in the analogy at the beginning, 1 + 1 does not equal 2, it is a creature that has gone completely negative. So what was the addition of what that resulted in this creature?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By the way, although Myrmecoleo is a creature that originated in the Bible, it is said that its origin was a mistranslation of the Bible.

When the Hebrew Bible was translated into Greek,Myrmex Lion(meaning a lion named Myrmex) was mentioned.

But in Greek, MyrmexantThis means that the Myrmex lion was translated from Greek as "antlion." It is said that this Myrmex lion was later spread as an imaginary creature called Myrmecoleo.

I was really stingy with the Mirumecoleo.It is a creature with the upper body of a lion and the lower body of an ant.There are various theories about its origin, such as that it is the result of the marriage of an ant and a lion, or that it is formed when an ant's egg is mixed with lion sperm.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So in what ways is this Myrmecoleo such an extremely negative creature?

Reason 1: Less survival power than the sunfish

As mentioned above, myrmecoleos are born from ant eggs. However, ant eggs are, of course, found underground. Myrmecoleos are born underground and continue to grow.

Therefore, unless they are accidentally excavated, most of themThey get stuck underground and die..weak.

2. Their feeding habits are poorer than those of mayflies

Have you ever heard of mayflies? They are insects of the order Ephemeroptera and look like slender dragonflies. They live in the water, but when they become adults they grow wings and can fly freely in the sky.

However, when they reach adulthood, their mouths degenerate and they don't eat anything until they die of starvation. They fly around, burning their life force. They are ephemeral, beautiful insects.

However, the Myrmecoleo has an even more ephemeral and beautiful feeding habit.Because he has the nature of a carnivorous lion, he cannot eat plants, and because he has the nature of a herbivorous insect, he cannot eat animals.In other words,From the moment they are born, they cannot eat anything.

Therefore, even if they could get out onto the ground, they would soon starve to death. It's like a punishment game. I thought it would be terrible to be a mosquito or a fly in my next life, but Myrmecoleo is more likely to die.I hate it a million times more.

Myrmecoleo was able to be both a carnivore and a herbivore, but due to this contradiction, in the end, it was unable to eat either. If you chase two rabbits, you catch neither. If you have too many things to deal with, you become immobile and suffer. Myrmecoleo may be a creature that embodies this lesson.
