Ants contain multitudes I also contain multitudes. This is because I am eating ants.

Clear vinyl tubing connected by fitting the smaller tube into the larger. over the past few months ants have chewed it back by a few mm a large black major continues the “Little Dig” project.

A big black carpenter ant explores a sandy area with an interesting rock.

A dozen black ants of various sizes explore their new space.

Yeah my carpenter ants need more space to explore… look at how they have slowly gnawed down this tube. So today I hooked up a new outworld for them. #antkeeping #happyants #ants #antposting

Black and white photo from a science book of a queen ant She and her daughter are very similar in form but the daughter is smaller than her entire head . The caption reads: "FIG. 9. The large female of Atta cephalotes L. held on the author's finger and with one of her attendant minima workers which refused to leave her, A fernale laying eggs weighed 346 milligrams alive and the minima workers weighed 0.4 mg. Trinidad."

Bonus cute photo of a queen and her minima worker. I love how the caption implies that the scientist could not separate them! 💗🐜 #ants #atta #queenant #leafcutters #antposting
