They come crawling to me now. Because they've been getting away with bad things for so long, ripping us off! But <a href="https://toad.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> stopped it. Coming into our house, nobody knows where they are coming from!Taking tiny grains of sugar back to the nest. To their queen. I call her "Queenie". She likes those sugar granules. Nobody uses that word now. But the ripoff stops today! I put a strong <a href="https://toad.social/tags/tariff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tariff</a> on ants. If Little Queenie wants our sugar, she's going to have to make a deal!"

Doug Bostrom"Resource exchange is a fundamental mode of cooperation in biological systems [1]. When multiple actors engage in the exchange of resources, they form transportation networks [2]. The emergence of these networks brings profound changes for its members, who are now exposed to the success or failure of other actors. The collective impacts of these interactions rippling through the network create their own emergent properties."<a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/ants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ants</a> <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/hymenoptera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hymenoptera</a><a href="https://sauropods.win/@futurebird" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@futurebird</a> <a href="https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.1098/rspb.2024.2342?af=R" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.1098/rspb.2024.2342?af=R</a>

Alex WildA living door ant, Colobopsis impressa, has a cork-shaped head for plugging up her nest.

Carson Hill 📎Noticed a couple <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ants</a> today on my walk that seemed to be... fighting was my first thought, but is almost certainly wrong. Communicating, I would guess, though it looks to me like one of those slap-fights in cartoons.<a href="https://sauropods.win/@futurebird" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@futurebird</a> probably knows what they're up to.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/awalkaday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#awalkaday</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pnw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pnw</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#insects</a>

Dave Dawkins (D. Harrigon)<a href="https://sauropods.win/@futurebird" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@futurebird</a> So tell me, she who knows, I've got some bugs coming up in the next section of my series of novellas. What's a good documentary on ant behaviour, possibly bees, for me to steal some cool bits for my alien bugs? My characters will be literally crawling into the nest, so I need a good primer. A lecture recorded at a university might also work.<a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/SciFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SciFi</a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/bugs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bugs</a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/ants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ants</a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/AmWriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AmWriting</a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writing</a>

Kristin (vis.social Admin)A spiral of ants, in a dark purple ink, for today's <a href="https://vis.social/tags/inkyDays" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#inkyDays</a> drawing. They're thinking of what to say, but there is so much going on, so they're just forming patterns right now. I made some more progress on the big piece I've been working on.

Steve's PlaceDespite moving the coffee maker (twice), I've dealt with at least a dozen more ants. Some were left were the coffee maker spent the night. Some appeared after brewing a cup. They literally build colonies inside of coffee makers.I haven't the patience for tiny coffee addicts.<a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/ants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ants</a> <a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/coffee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#coffee</a>

Steve's PlaceWhen I clean my kitchen, there is no food for ants. <--< A fallacy.I relocated a few dozen ants away from my coffee maker, cleaned it as best I could, and moved it out of the kitchen into a hallway. If no more ants appear, it's going somewhere that is not in the kitchen.These ants are addicted to caffeine. When fully caffeinated, they're zombified for a bit. Makes clean-up a breeze!Well, it did before dozens of the relatives showed up.I was singing a dirge-like tune to express my sorrow that ants are no longer enjoying sips of freshly-brewed French Roast.They eat my food, they drink my coffee, but do they ever leave a tip? Heck, no. Reminds me of a scene from MIB.<a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/ants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ants</a>

myrmepropagandistYeah my carpenter ants need more space to explore… look at how they have slowly gnawed down this tube.

Alex WildThese desert furnace ants- Forelius maccooki- normally run so quickly they are difficult to photograph. But they will pause and pose briefly at their nest entrance, allowing a few decent shots.
