Es gibt sie viel länger als uns, und sie haben viel besser begriffen als wir, dass man nur gemeinsam Erfolg hat. @MagSorger lädt ein zu einer faszinierenden Expedition in die Welt der Ameisen. Eine Rezension https://t.co/y5jCtoU51m

@CorrieMoreau @Pogonokwap @mareklborowiec @DrStrangeAnt @BoudAnt1 @lovetheants @hormiga Nothing planned right now while I'm building my @DiscoverAnts business, but maybe down the road! 😃🐜💪

Hey #myrmecologists! 🐜 Anyone know of any studies on #ant colony replenishment times after disturbance/worker removal? @Pogonokwap @mareklborowiec @DrStrangeAnt @BoudAnt1 @lovetheants @CorrieMoreau @hormiga

Diving beetles can breathe underwater because of an air bubble on their butt! #invertebuttweek , with @MaureenBug

[Rosemary Mosco (Bird And Moon Comics) @RosemaryMosco]

Ah, the beautiful butts of the sea.
A few weeks ago, some twitter folks saw the news about a new marine worm that had 100 or more butts. We decided to collaborate on this comic. My co-conspirators here are @MaureenBug and @americanbeetles. #invertebuttweek

Just found out it's #InverteButtWeek hehe, I'm a fan already 😁 Here's a ♥️-shaped #Meranoplus #ant butt 🐜

[Rosemary Mosco (Bird And Moon Comics) @RosemaryMosco]

For #InverteButtWeek, here's an older comic about an incredible butt mimic, named in honor of ant scientist @DanielKronauer.

My day is better now: I just learned that there is an ant named Crematogaster bingo. Thank you, Forel (1908)!

Haven't been out to the field for 3 months due to the wet weather, but it seems to be drying up! Here are some shots of a Calyptomyrmex, which some of you may call the strawberry ant, or sesame seed ant.

[Dr Magdalena Sorger @MagSorger]

@Cataranea Thank you,I appreciate the comment!I communicated /w NativeAmerican community members about (my)concerns regarding this.They told me there are no spirit animals on the *species* level,esp. no insects.This activity is meant to bring awareness to ants in an ecological context only.

[Dr Magdalena Sorger @MagSorger]

I'm translating (or rather creating) #spiritants for Central/Northern Europe! - German speakers, stay tuned! Soon you'll be able to find out which local #ant species is just like you!! 😁✨🐜 #yourspiritant https://t.co/I5WwcwMbyn

@flygirlNHM If you wanna photograph flies, definitely MPE, it will help if they don't move though cause you gotta get real close! 😁

@SusannaLHarris Ha! Glad you enjoyed the bit! It was a lot of fun filming (almost 2 years ago!) - Sadly no longer down the road, but lived in Raleigh for a long time, back in my home country Austria now! 😃

[Dr Magdalena Sorger @MagSorger]

@rmp4412 That's precious!! Love the detail put into making that spider into an ant! Great job, mom!! 😍

A strange looking planthopper (Flataloides sp.). Looked more like a moth than a hopper to me, at first glance.
