The Daily Ant

Basically, we just like the name of Xymmer, an ant genus with two known species found mostly in Africa but also reported from Southeast Asia.

Because “Xymmer” apparently wasn’t fun enough, in 2016, Rijal Satria and colleagues described the Southeast Asian species in the genus: Xymmer phungi. It’s this species that gives the genus its interesting disjunct geographical distribution.

We hope you like Xymmer too!
