Miletinae

Miletinae is a subfamily of the family Lycaenidae of butterflies, commonly called harvesters and woolly legs, and virtually unique among butterflies in having predatory larvae. Miletinae are entirely aphytophagous (do not feed on plants). The ecology of the Miletinae is little understood, but adults and larvae live in association with ants, and most known species feed on Hemiptera (aphids, coccids, membracids, and psyllids), though some, like Liphyra, feed on the ants themselves. The butterflies, ants, and hemipterans, in some cases, seem to have complex symbiotic relationships benefiting all.[1]

Systematics
gollark: In the case where it's a language runtime doing it it is quite possibly just doing cooperative multitasking internally, yes.
gollark: These have been known to exist, yes.
gollark: Thusly, modern runtimes or high performance applications will do stuff asynchronously, where they just wait for arbitrary amounts of events at once in a small threadpool.
gollark: However, this is inefficient. If you want to serve 12904172408718240 concurrent connections, you don't want to have one thread for each, especially if each one isn't used that much.
gollark: You simply do a thing, and wait for it to finish, in your thread.
