A trap-jaw ant (Odontomachus hastatus) prowling at night

I was slightly tempted to see what those jaws would do if I put my finger in front of them. But only slightly.

That would have been a tough call, but I wouldn't have tested it out either. ;P Posted 4 months ago

Very happy with this, was recently struggling with some neotropical ants, they are so cool but underdocumented. I was wondering if you ever saw this excellent resource:

  I hadn't seen that -- it's a great resource! I know who Alex Wild is from his tweets, which often include outstanding invertebrate photography. Posted 4 months ago
