sinectria

Relación biótica que existe en los hormigueros, entre las hormigas y otros insectos que viven como sus parásitos, protegiéndose con corazas, escondidos en el suelo o mimetizados con apariencia de otras hormigas, evitando así ser descubiertos y atacados.


crisálida

dormida

Fase del desarrollo de las mariposas, en la que se envuelven en una cápsula que cuelga de un pedúnculo, donde hacen la metamorfosis entre la de oruga y su forma adulta alada.

Pasó algún tiempo. Severo se ocupaba de sus crisálidas, próximas a romper el capullo convirtiéndose en mariposas, y quería que Benigno compartiese su entusiasmo, pero cada vez que le hablaba de ello el excelente anciano respondía:
-Yo también guardo mi crisálida, que un día tendrá alas y se hará mariposa. Pero las alas de ella serán las de la inteligencia, y sus bellos colores darán luz a mi vejez.
