Just thought I’d provide a more magnified image of the adorable Temnothorax curvispinosus acorn ants featured in the previous post.
Photo details:

Very nice! Looking forward to one with a dark background… (They have lovely, pale pilosity.)
Oh great. Someday I’m going to publish a field guide of all ants on white, and James is going to ask if I sell a version in black.
The “Alex Wild Black (Photo) Album” would be a hit, I’m sure.
Gray would be okay.
