Fun fact - the nests, which are constructed from chewed up bark, and leaves, mixed with mud, are waterproof.

That's right. Bugs invented paper, cardboard and waterproofing way before us.

Found in forests, woodland, and scrub jungles, but also in the parks and gardens of urban Mumbai, their large pagoda style nests are not only hard to miss, but also earn them the 'pagoda' moniker.

Today, on cool critters which share our planet, but which we seldom notice, let's meet the Pagoda ant (Crematogaster sp.).

These tree-dwelling ants are amongst those bugs which have pioneered the making of cardboard (much like the 'paper' wasps which build papery nests from chewed-up plant fiber).

#Introduction

Hello #BiologyMastodon

I'm a prof of stem cell and developmental biology in Edinburgh. I'm here to hear about your interesting research
#DevBio #StemCells

I rather like our planet, and I'm co-founder and Chair of the Sustainable Conferencing Initiative at the Company of Biologists
#SustainableConferencing #SustainableScience

I also love music, and if I like your paper I might suggest a theme tune for it
