mutualism
Phorid flies.
In the mutualistic relationship between thorn acacia trees and acacia ants, the acacia tree provides shelter and food (nectar and protein-rich Beltian bodies) to the ants, while the ants protect the tree from herbivores and competing plants. However, if the relationship becomes imbalanced, the acacia tree can be harmed if the ants become overly aggressive, attacking beneficial insects or even larger organisms that do not threaten the tree. Additionally, if the tree's growth is stunted or compromised, it may not produce enough resources for the ants, leading to a decline in both populations.

This mysterious plant provides protection for ants. The ants shelter in the acacia's thorns and horns which are conveniently hollow. Ant colonies also feed off the plant and sustain a healthy diet by doing so. They feed off the nectar and new growth from the leaves.
Predators of bull ants include birds, mammals such as anteaters and echidnas, and other insects like spiders and parasitic wasps. These predators hunt bull ants for food, but bull ants are also known for their aggressive defense mechanisms, such as their painful sting, which can deter predators.
