Plenary by @mherberstein.bsky.social at #ECBB2026 on ant mimicry in spiders. Some are really better mimics than others… jeez are you guys even trying? 🕷️ 🐜

What a great wake up after lunch! 👀

Who mimicks 🐜? Apparently 'literally everyone'! Some spiders may fool you
...but they're not always good at it! Ants don't have particularly great vision, so just smelling like an 🐜 will grant you access to the colony 👍 @asab.org #ECBB2026

A fantastic & insightful plenary by @mherberstein.bsky.social on The evolution of deception: 🐜 mimicry in 🕷️ and the power of museum collections.

Not to brag, but I got 19/21 😂 @asab.org #ECBB2026

💚 that @mherberstein.bsky.social began her plenary with some reflections on career pathways. Our perception is there's a clear path, but in reality we might only be able to see our next step and that's OK! Life is a 🎢 - be patient, persistent but also generous & inclusive! 🌈 @asab.org #ECBB2026
