Summary

Description
বাংলা: ছবিটি বাংলাদেশের জাতীয় উদ্ভিদ উদ্যান থেকে তোলা। একটি কালো পিঁপড়ে একটি বেঙ্গল মনিটর (গুইসাপ) এর মৃতদেহ থেকে মাংস ছিড়ে খাচ্ছিল। একদিকে যেমন গুইসাপের জীবন শেষ, অন্যদিকে ছোট পিঁপড়ে (বৈজ্ঞানিক নাম: Camponotus compressus) তাকে খেয়েই বাচার চেষ্টা করছে। পরিবেশের দারুণ এক খাদ্যশৃঙ্খলের নমুনা এটি। ছবিটি ২০২৫ সালের ২৭ মে তোলা।
English: This photograph was taken in the National Botanical Garden of Bangladesh. A black carpenter ant (Camponotus compressus) was tearing flesh from the carcass of a Bengal monitor (Varanus bengalensis). As the life of the monitor ends, the small ant struggles to survive by feeding on it. This is a remarkable example of nature’s food chain. The photo was taken on 27 May 2025.
