I met Mrs. Myrmecos in August 2004 at a conference in Brisbane. I knew I was on to something good right away, because she let me photograph the ants in her back yard. Two years later, we married.
In honor of Mrs. Myrmecos’ birthday today, here is one of those pictures:

World’s most romantic ant photo!
What a sweet story.
Aww, and cool, and a very happy birthday to you Mrs. M!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mrs. Myrmecos! You two are the perfect pair! Great story!
” You two are the perfect pair!”
Actually they soon become three. Alex get Mrs M to Call Home.
Happy birthday to her! I am assuming this was during ICE? Me and my future wife were there together too (me for the conference and her tagging along)…
Aww. Happy Birthday! And my favourite ant!
