(With narration describing what the ants are doing.)

BREAKING NEWS: frantic digging continues at cone ant compound. Ants are up to something.

Frantic activity continues at the cone ant compound. They are making a network of tunnels.

The species is Dorymyrmex bureni and they are the most tiny frantic ants that I keep. It's a big challenge keeping them inside an enclosure.

Tulip's Favorite Spot

Tulip, the eastern black carpenter ant (Camponotus pennsylvanicus) is a median worker. She likes to hang out at the highest point of the driftwood branch. Like most elderly ants (she is nearly 2 years old) she no longer enters the main nest. (I think older ants avoid the nest chambers to prevent disease) she spends a lot of time looking up… she has escaped twice. On her first escape I gave her the pink dots.

Tulip, the carpenter ant’s favorite spot.

🐜 Most Leaf cutter ants are infertile females & can carrying up to 50 times their own weight! All ants have different things to do in the nest. The small ants you see here tend to be the fungal gardeners. The larger ants are either workers (whom carry the leaves back to the nest) guards, soldiers or reproducers. The closer one looks the more one sees. 🔍 #leafcutterants #entomology #tiffanybozic #antvideo (at California Academy of Sciences)

Yup, I just took a video of my new kitchen clean up crew. She (?) took a lot of time preening her antennae after that. #ants #bugslife #kpduty #insect #antvideo #nature #worldinminiature
