Es gibt sie viel länger als uns, und sie haben viel besser begriffen als wir, dass man nur gemeinsam Erfolg hat. @MagSorger lädt ein zu einer faszinierenden Expedition in die Welt der Ameisen. Eine Rezension #Echobox=1731654977" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">spektrum.de/rezension/buch…

@AndrewVSuarez @DrStrangeAnt @lovetheants @DaveDenlinger Oooo! I want one too! 😃🐜😁

@DrStrangeAnt @lovetheants @DaveDenlinger @MagSorger I'll send another ;)

@CorrieMoreau @Pogonokwap @mareklborowiec @DrStrangeAnt @BoudAnt1 @lovetheants @hormiga Nothing planned right now while I'm building my @DiscoverAnts business, but maybe down the road! 😃🐜💪

@MagSorger @Pogonokwap @mareklborowiec @DrStrangeAnt @BoudAnt1 @lovetheants @hormiga Not that I can think of! Are you going to do it?

Hey #myrmecologists! 🐜 Anyone know of any studies on #ant colony replenishment times after disturbance/worker removal? @Pogonokwap @mareklborowiec @DrStrangeAnt @BoudAnt1 @lovetheants @CorrieMoreau @hormiga

Diving beetles can breathe underwater because of an air bubble on their butt! #invertebuttweek , with @MaureenBug

Ah, the beautiful butts of the sea. A few weeks ago, some twitter folks saw the news about a new marine worm that had 100 or more butts. We decided to collaborate on this comic. My co-conspirators here are @MaureenBug and @americanbeetles. #invertebuttweek

#InverteButtWeek Booty Face is ANGY (spintharus flavidus)

Just found out it's #InverteButtWeek hehe, I'm a fan already 😁 Here's a ♥️-shaped #Meranoplus #ant butt 🐜

For #InverteButtWeek, here's an older comic about an incredible butt mimic, named in honor of ant scientist @DanielKronauer.

My day is better now: I just learned that there is an ant named Crematogaster bingo. Thank you, Forel (1908)! Image from AntWeb.

@AeonixH @Bertonemyia @EconomoLab @antmuseum @CongLiu0514 @ant_explorer @AndrewVSuarez @mil_janda @SashaMikheyev @bugbiter Also for general size reference, this picture by @MagSorger shows a species of Strumigenys (S. elongata, one of the ones filmed in our study) sitting on my pinky finger!

Haven't been out to the field for 3 months due to the wet weather, but it seems to be drying up! Here are some shots of a Calyptomyrmex, which some of you may call the strawberry ant, or sesame seed ant.

@Cataranea Thank you,I appreciate the comment!I communicated /w NativeAmerican community members about (my)concerns regarding this.They told me there are no spirit animals on the *species* level,esp. no insects.This activity is meant to bring awareness to ants in an ecological context only.

@MagSorger I'm sure you don't mean to do harm with this, but please do not use this term. It is cultural appropriation. Here is a useful essay on why: wordglass.site/blog/2016/8/10…

I'm translating (or rather creating) #spiritants for Central/Northern Europe! - German speakers, stay tuned! Soon you'll be able to find out which local #ant species is just like you!! 😁✨🐜 #yourspiritant yourspiritant.com

@flygirlNHM If you wanna photograph flies, definitely MPE, it will help if they don't move though cause you gotta get real close! 😁

Ok I have ummmmmed and arrrrrrrd for months but now I’m going to do it. But what is your recommendation for canon macro photography?

👇🙋‍♀️

@SusannaLHarris Ha! Glad you enjoyed the bit! It was a lot of fun filming (almost 2 years ago!) - Sadly no longer down the road, but lived in Raleigh for a long time, back in my home country Austria now! 😃

@rmp4412 That's precious!! Love the detail put into making that spider into an ant! Great job, mom!! 😍

Still one of my fav ornaments! My mom made it to celebrate the year I worked on the #citizenscience project #antpicnic with @MagSorger.

A strange looking planthopper (Flataloides sp.). Looked more like a moth than a hopper to me, at first glance.
