Item Suggestions for Insects Month
Replies
Excited for insects month!
Ok some suggestions in regards to some insects that inspiration could be drawn from... and maybe some new items too. :) Anyone else have some ideas? :D
ANTS
I'm currently studying ants, and I've noticed that some of the ants on Subeta are not really ants, haha. They are missing a crucial part of their anatomy, the petiole.
Example of an ant with ONE petiole, and TWO petioles.
The petiole is one of the features that sets ants apart from bees and wasps.
NOW FOR SOME COOL ANT PICTURES AS INSPO.

Super cute trap jaw ants - Genus Daceton
Another trap jaw ant - Genus Anochetus
Ants with heart shaped butts - Genus crematogaster
Army ants! - Genus Eciton
I guess I could produce a lot more examples, haha. There are some really cool ants out there. :)
VELVET ANTS
Velvet Ants
Velvet ants aren't actually ants. They don't have the petiole! But they are some pretty badass looking creatures.
