Title: Pirate ants Written by: duddy on May 30, 2013 (https://biology-forums.com/gallery/47/4_30_05_13_3_36_07.jpeg) (https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=12385) This enigmatic ant with out-of-this-world pigmentation patterns was recently found in the Philippines. The females have a black stripe across the eyes that resembles a pirate eye patch; this distinctive trait inspired the scientists to choose the name Cardiocondyla pirate, or pirate ant, for the species. |
