Carpenter Ants on Peonies, Part 2. These ants aren't fighting each other. They are in fact sharing food. Because ants are social insects that work in colonies rather than as individuals, they work together to gather resources. This food-sharing is known as "trophallaxis" and the phenomenon it creates is sometimes termed a "social stomach". The food-sharing is extremely important, as it can also reinforce the odor that identifies an ant as a member of a colony, and not a rival colony. . . . . . . . #antsofinstagram #trophallaxis #socialinsects #ants #macrophotography #macromoment #insectsociety #insects_of_our_world #insectphoto #nature #ontario #hamiltonontario #invert_macro #entomology #myrmecology (at Hamilton, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBQtbyfgfU1/?igshid=jq8mkx38z5n6

Here was a really fun comission for @trophallaxis of her OC. I love drawing characters that are a little strange and fun, so a demon greaser was right up my alley. Thanks Ines!

what came first, the dave or the wave

As an aside I feel like there are enough Dave’s in the world to make a super group consisting only of dude’s named Dave. I’ll leave it to the Daves of Earth to carry this burden.

Slasher Dave makes slasherwave

I’m wondering if that was a conscious decision he came to when he was high one day or if the universe just kinda willed it to happen.
