Do any of you happen to know of any podcasts that are about ants? I don't really listen to podcasts but am curious. Thanks in advance!

I've got a few of these original hand-drawn small artworks in my shop now. The ants are saying "move slow and make wonderful things".

Hand drawn generative/procedural art in ink on watercolor paper. The abstract pattern looks like a spiral of ants with some words that say "move slow and make wonderful things"

The genus name for American harvester ants, Pogonomyrmex, means "bearded ant", and it refers to a basket of hairs on the underside of the head that helps these desert ants carry dry sand.

Monahans Sandhills State Park, Texas.

It's that time of the year when the rotting Halloween pumpkins start delivering tremendous bug content.

I got these shots of Pheidole dentata ants successfully hunting fruit fly adults and larvae in the muck.

This is such a cool study. A parasitic ant queen tricks worker ants into murdering their own queen, so the parasite can take over the colony.

A Texas leafcutter ant, Atta texana, hauls spring Prunus buds along a tree branch on her way back to the nest.

I can’t remember who pointed out this book here, and pointed out it was on sale, but thank you. It is a stunning book. #Ants

Cover of a book. “Ants a visual guide” “Heather Campbell and Benjamin Blanchard”. It features a black background with a red ant perched on the spiral of a small green leaf

A colony of aphids tended by a Camponotus noveboracensis carpenter ant. South Bristol, New York.

RE: https://mastodon.online/@alexwild/115488292292186152

For me, always a good example to change perspectives and become decent in our anthropocentrism: this is a #farmer with cattle. #Ants developed #farming long before humans existed.

Gens du web et autres gens gentils : j'ai besoin d'un conseil pour une démarche administrative en ligne qui merdoie.

Le site d'immatriculation https://ants.gouv.fr ne fonctionne pas normalement, et ce sur aucun de mes Firefox (identification tourne en boucle).

Je me souviens d'un Internet Explorer version linux qui dépannait bien pour tout ce qui est xxx.gouv.fr mais je retrouve plus.

A textbook image I did a few years ago showing a trap-jaw ant (Odontomachus rixosus) with her mandibles held open and trigger hairs forward, and then in the closed position.

The snapping shut of the trap is one of the fastest measured animal movements.
