Why would you ever admire a billionaire? Not least when there’s so many charming ants supporting the brood and keeping it real.

.@MilesMaxcer of @UFEntNem and Eugenijus Kavaliauskas, photographer of this viral image of a carpenter ant, find beauty in this close-up of an "instrumental organism." Twitter users found terror. wapo.st/3TXin8m
Is this ant terrifying or beautiful? Depends who you ask.

Is this ant terrifying or beautiful? Depends who you ask.

The close-up, zoomed-in photo of an ant's face by Lithuanian photographer Eugenijus Kavaliauskas was deemed nightmare fuel. But others see "God's miracles."

Functional and species diversity changes seasonally at local scales and is important to understand and control for when evaluating changes over longer geographic areas and time periods! Great job Leo! track.smtpsendmail.com/90321…
