I’d say a very advanced and subtle aspect of the conjugated product of both Prakriti and Maya.

We can more easily see that from within this universe or creation animal forms such as bees and ants that are compelled to create and produce, though they are not in a position for their intellect to react in an advanced way to their activities or busy-ness.

Even though the productivities of human or all participating in creation has real bearings and not illusory, their acceptance as independent from the play of the enfolding of this near magical to human understanding is illusory, even as creation eventually returns to a seed form with both Prakriti and Maya ready for the entrapment of the atma.  

Each species is performing on account of the facility that is created by Prakriti, never so far as we can understand by the efforts of any one group of consciousness. She facilitates and manifests, and the self can only be taken into consideration through appendages, the intellect, sense of identity, life force and a stock of memories or trails of the past.
