Does #PrivateEye have an ant-emologiest on it's #cartoon staff? So many #ant based #comics!
'like a mile-high club for ants? Not exactly. The Natural History Museum senior curator Suzanne Ryder describes ant mating as “quick and violent, with the male dying shortly afterwards”.'

Flying Ant Day 2025 warning with 'one of biggest swarms in years' expected:

I'm gonna be wearing red when cycling for the next few days to avoid being repeatedly bitten. Insects can't see red, whereas will be attracted to dayglow yellow and orange. Red still contrasts with your background.

This #log crosses my #walking path; every time I step over it I wonder about these #ants. Best I can tell is that it's some kind of superhighway for the little dudes.
I've looked for an obvious nest on either end of the log, but they both disappear into salal growths. The log is probably 40 feet across, altogether. Quite the commute for an #ant.

Got Ants? ( do do dodo, the dvorak ant song...
). Tell JCD, these sort of traps stop them cold. Kills the colony so they don't send more along the scout's trail when it doesn't return home. Yeah ants do that shit. Nature's damn clone army. So Nagasaki their homebase!
#Ant hive mind! These black ants with a slight banding on their abdomens are stealing stamens from the milkweed flowers! But why?
They're wearing the stamen as little booties!!!

Die Biene bekommt Besuch.
Das ist ein unerwartetes Foto. Ich war dabei die Biene mit dem Makroobjektiv zu fotografieren und dann kam diese Ameise hoch gekrabbelt.
The bee gets a visit.
This is an unexpected photo. I was about to photograph the bee with the macro lens and then this ant crawled up.

Spot the ant!
Watching your kids and "nothing new" to take photo of?
Lay down on your stomach and hunt.
(Really stretching the limits of this gas station surveillance camera that they slammed in this phone. After "they" consumed about two bottles of Jack, I presume.)
Ambiguous impulses for your mental cinema!

The #Norwaymaple #Acer #platanoides is a native #tree of (Central) #Europe that spread northward after the last #IceAge along with mixed oak forests and is still commonly found in such #treecommunities today. Like all #trees, it offers #habitats for numerous organisms, forming complex macro#ecosystems, e.g., the #leaves, where #aphids feed, while the #ant #Formica #fusca is collecting their excretions (honeydew) as food.
