In the end, the caterpillar’s feast annihilates the nest.

The detail that was left uncertain in the article is **the reason the Large Blue butterfly larvae lives in the ant nest**. While the article discusses the larvae's consumption of ant grubs and the destruction of the nest, it does not provide an explanation for why the larvae choose to live in the ant nest in the first place.

The word part "non" in "nonexistent" is **a bound morpheme**. Bound morphemes cannot stand alone as words and are instead attached to other morphemes to modify their meanings. In this case, "non" indicates negation.
