Ants on a Mexican Sage Bush bloom. Where I live in Texas this is one of the few plants a deer won't eat.
Ant hill "Bird's Eye View". This ant hill was formed along the curb in the street in front of our house. The conical shape is like a volcano, and this measures between 2-3 inches (5-7.5 cm) tall. Tonight's rain will wash this away, so I grabbed a few shots as the sun was setting.
Just for fun, short and sweet.
Loving the way the ant pats it on the head.
Should this be Ant and Eleph-ant?
Slave ants ?
Lifted a planted pot and found part of a black ant nest underneath. The interesting bit was there were a few red ants in the "nest" which I think are meadow ants. Not sure of the exact relationship between the two so slave might be too strong a term.

Leaf-cutter ants at the Parque Nature Metropolitano, Panama City 22 Apr 2025. The rainy season has begun and the ants need to feed their fungus.
Hypothetical question for the day: Which would be worse, ants in your pants, or a bee in your bonnet? Each girl argues from her own experience. The debate rages on.
These lovely Blythe dolls are Blue Rabbit and Veronica Lace, posing for the theme “Ants in your pants” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.
Dr. Henry Pym, an American biochemist with extensive knowledge in other scientific fields, married Maria Trovaya, a brave and beautiful young woman who had been a political dissident in her native Hungary, from which she had fled. Naively believing that his American citizenship would protect her, Henry and Maria Pym traveled to Hungary shortly after their marriage. The Pyms were confronted by agents of the secret police there. Henry Pym was knocked unconscious and Maria was murdered. Pym was greatly distraught by his wife's death, and decided to do whatever he could in the future to battle injustice and inhumanity.
Back in the United States, Pym discovered a rare group of subatomic particles, which have become known as the "Pym Particles." Pym was able, through the application of magnetic fields, to entrap the particles within two separate serums. One serum would reduce the size of persons and objects, and the other would restore them to their normal size. Pym tested the reducing serum on himself and discovered it was more powerful than he had expected: it reduced him to the size of an insect. Pym became entrapped in an anthill and was pursued by the ants within. He escaped and restored himself to his normal size with his other serum. Deciding that the serums were too dangerous to exist, Pym destroyed both of them.

However, weeks later he reconsidered his decision and began to recreate the serums, whose existence he then kept secret. Inspired by his experience in the anthill, Pym undertook a study of ants, and theorized that ants communicate through psionic / electrical waves transmitted through their antennae. After months of work, Pym succeeded in creating his first "cybernetic helmet," which would enable him to communicate with ants through transmitting and receiving psionic / electrical waves. Thinking that someday he might want to use the shrinking potion on himself again, Pym also designed a protective costume for himself, Unstable Molecules and steel mesh.
Not sure what species this fungus is but in the Amazon, there are at least a few species of fungus that infects ants, takes over their behavior, makes them crawl to the forest floor or near it where the humidity is higher/more suitable. Once the time is right, the fungus eats the ant from the inside and takes over the ants brain, makes it crawl to a leaf and lock it's jaws onto the edge of a leaf and die. Once it does, the fungus emerges from the ants body and produces spores that fall to the ground to infect other ants. Crazy stuff. This Camponotus mirabilis ant was apparently one of the victims of the zombie fungus.

Disclaimer: We here at Blythe Fifth Avenue ABHOR ants ... (there IS a reason) ...
so, here is Spencer Somebody, modeling not only our "famous" (ha!) BFA "TIZZY TOP" ... but also her "Flik" pajamas ...
The ONLY sort of "ant" we allow near our models, are Disney generated.
