A novel note from my @frontiersmedia.bsky.social trip to Karlsruhe yesterday was that the dark blue graffiti on the city's electrical boxes by the local football club's #ultras may be making them warmer and more attractive to invasive #ants in the spring.

Great talk this morning #Ento26 @royentsoc.bsky.social by @cocomacro.bsky.social @ox.ac.uk on the diversification dynamics of ants in deep time !

The Worker Drone #2
Technomyrmex albipes (White-Footed Ants)

White-Footed Ants have two kinds of males. The winged alates, who fly out to mate with new queens. And the wingless ergatoids, who mate in the next with the local queens. Both are important for the survival of the species.

Now we have the second #morphology session running at #dzg2026. Ranging topicwise from the "enigmatic body" of #cuddlefish and #squids to #functional_morphology of #ants and #beetles

I'm visiting (and helping disturb, for science) the largest known supercolony of Tapinoma magnum 🐜🐜🐜 in Germany today. Have been forewarned to expect significant pushback from the little ones.

All in a day's work at @frontiersmedia.bsky.social. Stay tuned for the fun.

This Pogonomyrmex rugosus appears to be playing dead. Apparently, this is a relatively rare behavior among ant species.

Met this lovely and impressive _Camponotus_ princess*, damn near an inch long, on my way getting groceries.

* Until she takes off her wings and settles down to start a new colony. Then she's a queen. Note: I made this up

What kind of bug is this? 👀

I've always been super intrigued by ants, but I'm totally cool admiring them from afar - especially those biting ones! 🐜

The ants are now... digging. I know, crazy for #ants right ?

#gamedev #indiegame

By the way the update is live, I would gladly welcome any feedback : the-workshop-geek.itch.io/incremental-...

But did I see some #ants? Hell yes I saw some ants.

A Pogonomyrmex rugosus worker squares off with her reflection on the surface of a repurposed glass yoghurt cup. When was the last time you squared off with the person in the mirror?

The ants keep forming rafts in my water collection bucket every morning.

Just a Phase
Camponotus greeni (Carpenter Ants)

Imago is the final stage of an insect's life cycle. After an insect either emerges from its cocoon or finishes its final molt, it is considered an imago, or adult insect.
