Some of them are from keeping and killing ants as well. Please kindly post the best ones to share in here. There's a lot!

It reminds me of the plaster in nests stories which I couldn't find in the search engines here -- too many hits on keeping ants in plaster nests.

Adult Worker Ant Posts: 196 11/24/2006 1:10 AM Minor Worker Ant	I can't say it doesn't bother me that most of these photographers that take pictures of ants know nothing about them. Most of these photgraphs are beautiful however. I went ahead and posted some info about their "ant" photos, just to give them some basic knowledge...HEY i couldnt help it. Formidable Formica!

Adult Worker Ant Posts: 196 11/24/2006 4:34 AM Minor Worker Ant	I commented on the weaver ants, he or she had named them "Green Ants" i thought i'd share some knowledge, another photo they captioned a mating flight of Lasius as "Infestation" i simply told them that Lasius flavus or any other species that resembles it (yellow in color) tends to spend most of its time underground feeding off the nectar from insects tha feed on the roots of plants and trees. Only time they emerge is to do mating flights. And also there were photos of honeypot ants doing their territorial battle stance, someone called them "meat ants" yeah i had to correct that one. Formidable Formica!

Posts: 57 04/07/2007 6:39 AM Young Worker Ant	I always wondered about other arthropods mimicing ants. There are spiders, beetles, mantids, and flies that do it, but ants recognise each other by scent. What's up wit' dat?

Most Australians know Oecophylla as "Green Ants" and will look at you funny if you call them "Weaver Ants". The common name "Green Ant" is no more or no less correct than "Weaver Ant", as these ants are both green and have silken leaf nests. The use of one common name over the other can confuse people from different regions who know the same insect by different names. Scientific names, in contrast, are universal.

Posts: 5364 04/07/2007 12:14 PM Doc.	Actually, Nepenthes, attine ants are almost purely "fungan", though it's true they'll drink a bit of plant sap when harvesting leaves for their mushroom garden compost. But, like Myrmecos says, there is a fair bit of leeway, and thus variation, and thus possibilities for confusion with vernacular names. On the other hand, non enthusiasts will just give you unknowing stares if you use Latin names. In general, this interest in ants we have is not particularly common and considered rather odd by most people, I think.

Posts: 17018 07/06/2007 7:53 AM Borg Ant, Your Overlord	www.flickr.com/photos/kclama/664225385/ It looks like two moths and a group of ants are drinking something? I thought the ants were killing the moths at first. "Trivial hurts, tiny human accidents," said Firenze, as his hooves thudded over the mossy floor.
