  1. Found these yellow sneaking ants, Cardiocondyla wroughtonii, in one of UT Austin's greenhouses. A worldwide tramp ant, but not one we normally see in central Texas. #Ants #Insects #Cardiocondyla

  6. Ant-collecting in the news.

    'In the biblical text Book of Proverbs, King Solomon describes the harvester ant as a model of wisdom and industriousness: “Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise!”'

  7. @simon_brooke I think, it's not so important if humans will survive. The question is when humans will recognise that #ants already took over world dominion, being more intelligent that all these AI-bros ever imagined ... and are. 😎

  8. Two different castes of the same species? Hyatt’s Carpenter Ants?
    The straight ant appears to be trying to carry the curled one, but has been in the same spot a good ten minutes, maybe too cold to have much energy yet?

    This is in NorCal, currently 15C

    "ABSTRACT

    I give an account of the first known example of an ant (i.e., an undescribed Dorymyrmex) that licks and nips the much larger workers of a different ant species (Pogonomyrmex barbatus) in a manner remarkably parallel to the actions of cleaner fish that clean other species of fish"

  14. I’m always happy to see Camponotus castaneus one of the more rare ants in New York City. At first I was disappointed to see two of them fighting each other, but I realized that meant that there must be at least *two* colonies living in close proximity, so when they have their nuptial flight, there is a chance that there will be mated queens! #ants #antsnyc #nycants

    (Fighting for now... romeANTs later)

  15. An Azteca ant inside her brood nest in a hollow Cecropia tree stem.

    What she is holding is not an egg or a larva (those are the lumpy things with the interior dark patch) but a food body produced by the tree specifically to feed the ants, as they protect the tree from caterpillars. Colombia.

  20. Queen in a drawer. A test tube can seem like a small space for such a large, majestic insect, but this mimics what she would have built or found for herself in the wild, a narrow hollow under bark, a repurposed carpenter bee burrow, or a hole excavated with her own mandibles queen ants seal themselves in creating a space with no exit, total darkness and seclusion to maximize moisture and avoid discovery.

  21. Exhibit A (for #Ants): I don't know if they're reacting to me, the environment or some unperceived or dismissed rationale I witnessed.

    Technically this is a #SilentSunday unless one also cranks the audio in which case there are nature sounds of a banal quality.

    The shaking camera effect is not sfx, that's cinema verite; the fx is diegetic.

  22. I wonder how we can get people with #time to really #risk more in others + #invest time (not money.

    And FLUSH CLEANER our bad methodology / mentality in accepting to audio talk it out a bit more...

    #kindly + #constructively

    Hmm, this is what I think often when I see a GREAT account like yours as it's great but clearly we need to 'engage' ourselves like #nodes / #bacteria / #ants to get rid of the other bad stuff like #Trump ETC

    BUT nobody really listens or invests #2way time ⌚ 🔈 🙈 🙉 🙊 💌

  26. What kind of creature do we have here 🤔?
    Formica rufa? In my own back yard?! I'd love them to live right here 🥰

  27. Alors il paraît que j'ai un certain écho au niveau cybersec et tout le tintouin alors on va y aller

    Vous avez #Linux ? Ok alors en moins de deux semaines une vulnérabilité a fragilisé le bousin. Le nom de l'exploit ? #CopyFail, qui a utilisé une faille vieille de 9 ans pour se permettre de se mettre Root sur votre machine, et d'y faire ce qu'il veut avec les privilèges qui vont avec. Et tous les risques associés évidemment, inutile de les citer ça ferait une chiée de "ouais on avait deviné". Car ouais les utilisateur•ices de Linux vous être bizarrement plus sensibilisé•es à la sécurité informatique.

    Quoi d'autre ? Bah l' #ANTS en roue libre. Rien de neuf.

  30. For some reason hundreds (thousands?) of ants decided to take the palm tree seeds from a felled tree in our garden, and are transporting them in a line into the field next door.

    Not just palm tree seeds, all sorts. Look at these industrious lil fuckers go 💪

  31. Went to the mailbox just a minute ago to get today's mail (and Saturday's, which we forgot to grab). Pull out the mail and hundreds of tiny ants and ant eggs come tumbling out. Ants everywhere, inside envelopes, inside magazines, inside a small package.

    This is not the first time it's happened but this is the first time I've seen it happen this early. Going to have to put control bait at the back of the mailbox.

  36. It’s hard to photograph ants; they rarely stop and are very fast. But there is one moment when they don’t run away—when they’re with aphids, their symbionts. These shiny black ants, Lasius fuliginosus, can be recognized by their heart-shaped heads and are truly glossy. Thanks to good lighting conditions, a tripod, and the aphids, my photos turned out well.

  37. Cybersécurité de l’État : le plan du gouvernement pour (essayer de) stopper l’hémorragie

    Le 30 avril à 20h31

    Fuites de données, cyberattaques, failles de sécurité : pas un jour ne se passe sans que l’actualité rappelle la vulnérabilité des infrastructures numériques. C’est le cas dans les entreprises privées, mais aussi dans l’administration publique et notoirement en France. Sébastien Lecornu a annoncé plusieurs mesures pour essayer de remettre d’aplomb les capacités de cyberdéfense de l’Hexagone.

  38. A new DNA study of museum specimens reveals that 80% of Fiji’s native ant species have declined since human arrival. The sharpest drop occurred 300 years ago with the rise of industrial agriculture.

    This study confirms the fragile state of island insect biodiversity.
