Life continues for the majority of the planet that did not invest in Bitcoin, including these Tetramorium lucayanum ants.

Some ants are cryptic, do they also have crypto coins to sell?

Heck. I might invest in an ant coin.

They do think "Camponotus quadrilateralis" would be a better name.

I just want you to know that my desktop background is this huge folder of ant photos and like half of them are yours. Since I teach CS and math the first thing students see is a big photo of an ant from the folder and since they know they can distract me by asking about ants (but I also think they really like them) they will ask me what ant it is, what it's doing etc.

It's the "Ant of the Day"

Today was Camponotus rectangularis which they thought was "the cutest ant so far"

@futurebird That is an adorable one. They almost look stackable.
