As you can see, the beetle larva is chasing and attacking the worker ant even after it gets on a plant and becomes out of reach.
I have seen something similar in the past too, where creatures (mole cricket, other ants, and some others) fail to pick a new target when their initial target is either too far away or out of reach. (So I think it is a creature issue?)
I am guessing this is something related to setting a new attack target when one has already been selected. (Because creatures never fail to select their initial target when entering combat, so I think it is unlikely for something to go wrong there?)

I have witnessed this too, I see creatures all the time go through my entire army just to get at a worker returning a piece of food to the nest.

Probably some unknown factor that is needed to trigger this. Maybe the attacking creature has to perform an attack and not land a hit with it? Can this cause it to not check for a different target before going in for an attack again?
