Just remember, though – these scenes normally exist in complete darkness.
The alveolate structure of the Atta fungus garden is new to me, and both very sensible and aesthetic.
James- what is the latest on those California "fusca"? Are they really subaenescens?
Good question, but I'd rather call them that than fusca, which seems to be strictly Eurasian. Indeed, among North American ants in that group, F. accreta is more like Eurasian F. fusca than anything else on this continent. Yes, some questions remain . . .
