Acorn ants, Temnothorax curvispinosus, in an old acorn in Illinois.
They need an acorn in a particular stage of decay, usually a year old and already hollowed out. If you're looking for acorn ants, you won't find them in the fresh ones. #ants #insects #temnothorax

In a study different #behaviors in #anthosts and #antparasites between populations of each of them were discovered being related i.a. to #temperature and humidity and thus on the effects of #climaticchange, based on these species: the "slave-making ant" #Temnothorax americanus, and its host, the ant Temnothorax longispinosus (#Myrmicinae).
In that context I would be interested in the climate change effects on non-ant parasites and commensals, such as #phoreticmites.

Temnothorax isabellae, from the rainforests of Puerto Rico, is one of the more colorful ant species I have photographed.

An entire colony of Temnothorax longispinosus ants fits neatly into a little crevice between stones. New York.

In my opinion, one of the world's prettiest ants is Temnothorax isabellae, endemic to the forests of Puerto Rico.
