Ants
Andrew Lin strikes again! This time, with ants.
Now, I know what you’re thinking. “It’s ants, Dave. Actually it’s mostly dirt. This isn’t even a particularly interesting—”
Okay, let me just stop you right there. See, this is why you need to be looking at the big picture.
No, I mean literally. Go click on the link to the big picture. They’re just ants, right? They go in and out of their hole and…
…and that one has wings.
Is it a male preparing for a mating flight? Is it a queen who has not yet shed her wings? Is it a very confused wasp?
Let’s use SCIENCE! to find out, shall we? A little zoom and enhance action is in order:
Whoa! That ant is three times the size of the workers nearby! It’s a queen!
Slowly getting the site back onto an even keel. It's nice to get back into the old posting rhythm.
