#antweb

We (the Bee Lab) have done a pretty good job at ignoring ants.  This, despite being collocated with Bees in the order Hymenoptera.  Pretty closish too.  Also interesting is how very spectacular ants are to photo graph see photos on AntWeb or Alex Wild's phototasctic work.   Will have to rectify that by actually looking for them.  (Special offer: Anyone who wants to come to the lab and take ant pictures with our set up would be welcomed).  So, with those caveats here is an ant from fossil butte, Wyoming.   Cool because it is an ant and all in focus, but relatively pathetic in that I have no idea what species and if you look you can see a couple of snapped off legs.  Ok, basically it was big and there was the passing thought of taking an ant picture.  We resolve to do better.  Photo by Sierra Williams.

Gallery: Ambitious Insect Catalog Snaps 3-D Images of Every Ant Species

"A global effort to photograph every species of ant on this planet is embarking on an international tour, stopping by museums and scientific collections in the United Kingdom. With thousands of American ant species already accounted for, now Brian Fisher and colleagues at the California Academy of Sciences are taking AntWeb overseas."
