🖼️ Image 1 – Hypothetical reconstruction of the queen. This is what she might have looked like had she founded a colony instead of fossilizing after drowning in a water pool. The queen and her first nurse are shown tending eggs and larvae of two generations.

I recently posted a picture of a large Dorylus molestus army ant worker from Mount Kenya. Here is the same ant again, but this time in comparison to its smaller sisters. These ants are incredibly polymorphic, and the different worker types take on different tasks in the colony.

¿Sabías que…? Existe una asombrosa diversidad de tamaños en las hormigas ibéricas 🐜 En la Península Ibérica habitan cerca de 300 especies de hormigas y su tamaño varía increíblemente. Desde las diminutas Leptanilla, de apenas 2 mm, hasta las impresionantes Camponotus, que pueden superar los 15 mm.

🐜 La hormiga del mes: Formica exsecta Nylander, 1846 🔎 ¿Qué la hace especial? El apellido de esta
#hormiga
, exsecta, del latín exsectus, que significa "cortado". Este nombre hace referencia a la forma de su cabeza, que recuerda a una punta de flecha. ¡Una característica que no pasa desapercibida!

Manica parasitica was thought to be a species of social parasite ant which lives by freeloading off its host ant species - Manica bradleyi. Turns out those "Manica parasitica" are just Manica bradleyi ants that have been infected with tapeworms
