Tangled bank squared: a moth with an entire behavioral scene painted on the canvas of its wings. My guess is this scene might look disgusting, and therefore deterring, to potential predators.

One of my favourite group of ants, Cataulacus

Here is a picture of two hoatzin in the Amazon waiting for their phylogenetic position to be confidently resolved

Army ant colonies are nomadic and frequently relocate their nest. Here are two photos of a Dorylus molestus emigration column at Mount Kenya. 🇰🇪 The ants are carrying their eggs, larvae and pupae - can’t move house without bringing the kids along.

The complex social behavior of ants has fascinated humans for centuries, but only now is it becoming possible to study ant behavior at the neural circuit level. New review with Dominic Frank in Annual Reviews: The Budding Neuroscience of Ant Social Behavior

How should we talk about ants and ant behavior? Please help the community by taking this Myrmecological News survey:

Yuko Ulrich and the members Yuko Ulrich lab are studying clonal raider ants and want to find out how diseases spread in communities. See the video broadcast in the Thüringenjournal:

Wow!

Yes!!! Hammer! Nächste Haltestelle Berlin! Alles Gute aus #NYC 1. FC Kaiserslautern !

Fossil ants! 🐜

Chickadees activate unique neural “barcodes” each time they hide food. These barcoded #memories then light up in the brain when they retrieve it.

New art collab project just came out! My favorite part: some of these are bugs I collected from my own back yard and now they are in NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC

Woohoo! Well done, MPI for Biological Intelligence!

!!Funded PhD available (start 2024)!! Do you want to study #collectivebehaviour in weaver ants (in particular how they build their ultra-cool and totally unstudied silk nests), and develop #bioinspired #3Dprinting #swarmrobotics ? Let me know! And please RT!

We are looking for an enthusiastic Phd-student to join us in Copenhagen Department of Plant & Environmental Sciences to work on fungal genomics. The project is in collaboration with Michael Habig. employment.ku.dk/all-vacancies/…

Did you know? In some cultures, ants were used to stitch wounds. Army or leaf-cutter ants would hold the skin together, putting their mouth to the wound and wait for them to bite down. The body would be removed, the head left
