So I received a get well card from my labmates. Not just any card, but a card with ants playing roller derby! So fabulous. I love the names and how an attempt has been made to have each ant be morphologically correct at least in terms of petiole number and relative size. And of course, Gigantiops destructor is a ref, because how else would you utilize those giant eyes? Brilliant! Make sure to click on the picture to see it up close so you can read all the words!
In which I will be keeping track (for my own benefit) of my daily progress in the identification of the ant fauna of Tiputini Biodiversity Station in Ecuador, the analysis of that data, and the pursuit of my PhD. And (for the benefit of everyone else) I hope to provide helpful information on ants, taxonomy, database management, identification, and other assorted endeavors. Cheers

How come the top left ant has no antennae? ;)
