I did manage to get some time outside in the nice weather today! It was nuptial flight day for _Prenolepis imparis_, cold-active ants who are typically the last to hunker down for the winter and the first to come out in the spring. Unfortunately these were the best photos I could get.
Nice little things from today's walk.
The larger world seems to kind of suck these days; it's comforting to focus on a smaller scale. Stay safe humans.
Nearby mid elevations of the Colorado Plateau are warm and dry this year. The cusp of of March/April is usually snow and mud. This year plants are blooming. Insects have emerged. It will still frost hard, and may have frozen last night.

Speaking of #branding
#EugenRochko explains the origin of the term "toot."
"calling posts #toots (UK slang for farts) Not that I dislike βbranding, quite the opposite"

"2016 a famous YouTuber jokingly offered....(the term "toot" as in a "tweet") "Needless to say, this was not very informed decision. As a non-native speaker I had no idea there was another meaning"π«£

The droplets and threads consist of water-attracting fatty acids and salts that help the larvae breathe through their skin. These structures also provide a defense against #predators like #ants in the humid #forest #environment.

I believe this is, according to Australia standards for weights and measures, a metric shit tonne of ants.
Maybe two shit tonnes.
