Alex WildThis Australian sugar ant (Camponotus consobrinus) warns us to avoid approaching her nest too closely.

Kristin (vis.social Admin)A spiral of ants, in a dark purple ink, for today's <a href="https://vis.social/tags/inkyDays" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#inkyDays</a> drawing. They're thinking of what to say, but there is so much going on, so they're just forming patterns right now. I made some more progress on the big piece I've been working on. I love how the colors are playing together in this one.<a href="https://vis.social/tags/ink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ink</a> <a href="https://vis.social/tags/drawing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#drawing</a> <a href="https://vis.social/tags/ants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ants</a> <a href="https://vis.social/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#art</a> <a href="https://vis.social/tags/SciArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SciArt</a>

Coach Spore DieselI suspect not only that I have a colony of <a href="https://spore.social/tags/ants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ants</a> in my <a href="https://spore.social/tags/TinyHouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TinyHouse</a> walls, but I've probably had that same colony since North Carolina. Now I live in the Mississippi Delta. I haven't gotten a picture of them. Under normal circumstances, I only see them one at a time as they patrol and sometimes get on me. But if crumbs happen, a lot appear.The other day they somehow got INSIDE a jar of peanut butter. I must have mis-threaded the lid. They are teensy and black.

myrmepropagandistYeah my carpenter ants need more space to explore… look at how they have slowly gnawed down this tube. So today I hooked up a new outworld for them. <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/antkeeping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#antkeeping</a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/happyants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#happyants</a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/ants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ants</a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/antposting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#antposting</a>

Alex WildThese desert furnace ants- Forelius maccooki- normally run so quickly they are difficult to photograph. But they will pause and pose briefly at their nest entrance, allowing a few decent shots.

rk: could be an enumDoes anyone know a good supplier of ant farms might be? My kid is suddenly super interested in ants and I want to strike while the iron is hot.

Lemon DiscoThis short clip is a very active hairy wood ant nest we saw at the weekend!

Resolviendo la incógnita 🌐La hormiga Leptomyrmex rufuceps extiende sus largas patas y eleva el gáster cuando se siente amenazada. Este género de hormigas vive en colonias pequeñas, buscando alimento en grupos. Algunas obreras acumulan fluidos y permanecen en todo momento en el hormiguero, pues tampoco pueden salir.📷Jordan Dean <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/hormigas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hormigas</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ants</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/insectos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#insectos</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#insects</a>

Takako 🐀<a href="https://sauropods.win/@futurebird" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@futurebird</a> Hello. I used to feature ants in my short video loops on occasion. Some ants are so lucky to live in beautiful places. Fascinating creatures. If you can tell us anything about this little ant, that’d be wonderful. Thank you.

Alex WildOn a research trip to Argentina many years ago, we were unexpectedly delayed several hours to clear permit paperwork at El Palmar National Park. So I poked around with my camera instead and found a trail of fire ants being harassed by an ant-decapitating fly. <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Ants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ants</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Phoridae" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Phoridae</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Insects</a>

myrmepropagandist<a href="https://aus.social/@spacelizard" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@spacelizard</a> You *do* realize one of the first plot points in Phase IV is how the scientists, who are in a remote outpost in the desert, notice that all of the spiders are gone and there is a strange glowing body in the night sky... Of course how could anyone know with the telescope down...If you see these things around your camp?... IDK buddy.
