@NovoAnts Thank you! Yep!! Lots of ants out in the desert here

It’s exciting to be working with harvester ants! I always wanted to do a project on them ✨photos by me

[Dr. Joanie King @Ms_Mars]

@DrStrangeAnt Me too! I’ve never seen this particular one before. She was beautiful. Also, up at 6100 ft!

[Dr. Joanie King @Ms_Mars]

Cool bugs from hiking and scrambling in the Organ Mountains last Sunday ⛰️. The mutillid was my favorite!

@Mikeropod Yeah. This particular species - about a month or so

Someone sent this cottonwood borer (Plectrodera scalator) to the Plant Diagnostic Clinic for an ID. He’s been my lil buddy for the last 2 weeks 😆

[Dr. Joanie King @Ms_Mars]
