Trying to identify African Crematogaster is a mess. I *think* this photo I took in 2012 in Uganda shows C. nigrans, but there are a zillion published species names with inadequate descriptions and no modern research that ties these names to real world populations. #Taxonomy #Insects #Entomology #Ants #Crematogaster

If you were feeling perky and wanted to learn a second genus, the obvious choice is Crematogaster, the acrobat ants. They're also found worldwide and are instantly identifiable for their unique, heart-shaped butts.

Here is another ant. I still haven't gotten clarification on how the common names are applied to this group. I learned them as valentine ants, but it seems like most call them acrobat ants and yet others call them cocktail ants. If you know something about how or when to apply these common names, please let me know.

And now for some more ants! I spent years and years of my life studying wasps but I can't ever find them when I'm holding my camera. But hey, ants are still awesome. The one on the right must have found something delicious as she is sharing it through trophallaxis (aka the kiss of life? do ant experts really use this?) with her sister. I presume these are shiny acrobat ants but would love a correction.

Gathering together some of my ant digital drawings and thinking about doing more this winter.
I start missing ants a lot during winter. My colonies are asleep and there are no ants outside.

Here's an ant I don't see very often: Crematogaster rifelna, a small acrobat ant known only from south Texas and northeastern Mexico. Here, two nestmates are engaged in trophallaxis.

Did someone say #Ants ? These are Cocktail ants (Orthocrema sp.) eating some sort of hemipteran.
Wait, I feel a poll coming on...
Is it Valentine, Cocktail, or Acrobat? This really does need resolution in my scattered brain...

I just love treehoppers. They’re so… weird.
Here’s an Entylia being tended by an acrobat ant on sunflower. Texas.

There are these cute, shiny, bicolor, chonky, little #ants that live in a stucco wrapped column outside of where I work. I suspect they are Crematogaster laeviuscula but I don't say that with much certainty. I'd love to catch a mated queen during their #NuptialFlight season.

2023 Photo Challenge 115/365
This was a shot of my ants, they are Crematogaster if I got my names right. They are thirsty girls and you can see the sizes vary. I didn't have to do much slider work but did to a bunch of clean up as they are a bit messy. Little bits and pieces were everywhere. I also removed the highlights and camera reflection from the drop. #macro #ants #crematogaster #photoshopedit #2023photochallenge -
