working on insect samples in the lab today,
a longhorn crazy ant (not a sample) climbs into my petri dish and tries to run off with one of my flies. then i spend like ten minutes playing catch the fucking CRIMINAL as it runs around the dish grabbing different fly samples and trying to get away with them

Are Humans Self-Aware?
Ants have often tested humans for self awareness. They placed objects in our homes and were shocked we didn't cover them in sand.
"Although humans build interesting nests & show signs of cooperation, can they really have rich inner lives like ants? Unlikely."
They laid pheromone trails & we ignored them.
"Even a newly eclosed callow or a termite could have followed these trails! Human intelligence is perhaps similar to that of a lichen... or perhaps an aphid at best."
basically how I see myself with you guys
Ya girl has been published 👀👀
My gynandromorph amazon ant find and photoshoot is featured in the fall edition of the American Entomologist journal! Just a perfect bizarre creature ❤️🖤
(Polyergus longicornis, male alate/female worker split)
When I found this creature in 2022, I would have been far more comfortable starting this post with "ya boy"
Another reason this creature is and probably always will remain my favorite find.
Oh yeah, and Happy Intersex Awareness Day. ♥️
A tale of two honeypot ants 🍯🍯🐜🐜

Pit firing some clay sculptures and HELLO???
Crashed into my leg, had to stop her from flying into the fire
New anthropomorphized ants. Trying to define what types of clothes they should wear. Right now i'm drawing inspiration from antique civilization that lived where they live, but i'm also very much drawing them without thinking. I'd like to put more thought into them in the future, if you have a favorite ant specie you'd want me to try and draw i'd love to take some request !
