Does this ant act insane or is it just its name? The first sentence of an article (Snelling 1995) summing up the identification problems with Dorymyrmex insanus states "No North American ant has been cursed with such a singularly unfortunate taxonomic history as that described by Buckley (1866)...". The original description doesnt say which specimens (holotypes and paratypes) were used and was quite vague. As a result, the species name has changed numerous times, giving myrmecologists a huge headache. It just goes to show that specimens are important! . . . #Dorymyrmex #Dorymyrmexinsanus #FormicidaeFriday #taxonomy #sciencefriday #ants #insects #bugs #bugsofinsta #myrmecology #entomology #museumlife #buglife #naturalhistory #itsallgoodep #instaeptx #elpaso411 #macrophotography https://www.instagram.com/p/Bys8TJ2B35e/?igshid=1s60nfr5jqy3p

From Bolivia and Brazil! This particular species of the fungus growing ant genus, Cyphomyrmex, hasn't had its queen described yet. We wonder if that will be in the works soon! . . . #formicidaefridays #itsallgoodep #instaeptx #elpaso411 #myrmecology #entomology #ants #bugsofinsta #museumlife #Cyphomyrmex #vorticis https://www.instagram.com/p/BtpFpxOg6xV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1en8o7lbmoc1

Shout out to our awesome bird prep team, Flor Hernandez, Luiz and Melissa who repaired these insect damaged birds just in time for the Chihuahuan Desert Fiesta. The team sewed the heads of these birds back on and you can barely tell that anything had happened to them. . . . #museumlife #elpaso411 #instaeptx #birds #taxidermy #graduatestudents #naturalhistory #biodiversity #chihuahuandesert #animals #itsallgoodep #utep https://www.instagram.com/p/BofGywNDMYv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fz34xf8c2xry
