Anthony HortonLadies, I generally don't mind having a few ants around the house, but I really don't think a shelf in our laundry press is a good place to keep your brood.
Alex WildThe retractable antennae of Mycetophylax fungus-farming ants leave such a distinct scrobe on the head. Photo from a few years ago from Mindo, Ecuador.
This is possibly an undescribed species. Too many ants, not enough taxonomists. #Ants #Insects #Formicidae #Mycetophylax

Crap, I found an entire colony of #ants living on some warm power bricks in our living room. I can't leave them like that since ants and electricity don't seem like a safe combination, and I'm about to leave town, but I feel so bad about unplugging the heat on their babies and I have no idea where they will relocate to!
Heliograph@futurebird oh wow a superinterestng thread ๐ฒ๐ thanks I had no idea about #carpenter #ants #carpenterAnts
Dorgaldirs GardenA fascinating mutualistic relationship on a branch in my garden โ red wood ants (Formica sp.) tending a dense colony of black aphids. The ants protect the aphids from predators in exchange for the sweet honeydew the aphids secrete. Nature is full of these unexpected alliances!
Een fascinerend mutualistisch tafereel op een tak in mijn tuin โ rode mieren (Formica sp.) die een dichte kolonie zwarte bladluizen bewaken. De mieren beschermen de bladluizen tegen roofdieren, in ruil voor de zoete honingdauw die de bladluizen afscheiden. De natuur zit vol zulke onverwachte samenwerkingen!

Diet determines the bacteria present in microbial gardens cultivated by ants
Scientists observed that bacterial communities in colonies change depending on the food leafcutter ants offer to their symbiotic fungus. This research may aid in the search for new molecules for biofuels and bioremediation.
