Clever worms form superorganism towers to hitch rides on insects
Nematodes tiny yet mighty form wriggling towers to survive and travel as a team. Long thought to exist only in labs, scientists have now spotted these towers naturally forming in rotting orchard fruit. Remarkably, the worms aren t just piling up they build responsive, coordinated structures that hitch rides on insects to escape harsh conditions.
