New Ant Lab video out today on YouTube! Jump parasitoid wasp cocoons!!!!!!!!!!!

[Peter Marting @AztecaCecropia]

New pub! Honeybee nests are super symmetrical, the pattern of cell contents is mirrored on either side of the comb. This symmetry
1 is unique to each comb in the nest
2 evolves over time while maintaining symmetry
3 aids in thermoregulation and rearing
4 conserved across Apis🔗⬇️

MOMENT OF SCIENCE: Catch you on the flip side! I spoke with @DrAdrianSmith at @NCStateSciences about his research into globular springtails: the tiny insect with the world's fastest backflip.

[NC State University @NCState]

This tiny backyard bug does the fastest backflips on Earth. "It’s the closest you can get to a Sonic the Hedgehog jump in real life,” says @NCStateSciences' Adrian Smith. #ThinkAndDo
