The Amazon Ant nest which provided me with the coolest single creature I may ever find nearly 2 years ago is still there and active! I wondered if it would survive this past winter and a burn, and was glad to see both species out and about yesterday. See alt text for more details 🌿πŸ§ͺ🐜

This creature from that nest remains and probably always will be the coolest thing I've found: the bilateral gynandromorph Polyergus longicornis; half worker, half winged male alate. A They/Them Ant. πŸ–€β€οΈ Still feels kind of surreal! 🌿🐜πŸ§ͺ
