Ok campers. What’s this entomological oddity?
Points will be awarded for correct guesses in proportion to taxonomic proximity to the pictured species, out of 10 total.
The cumulative points winner for the month of October will take home their choice of 1) any 8×10-sized print from my photo galleries, or 2) a guest post here on Myrmecos.
Good luck!
