In response to the ongoing pandemic, we will be producing a short, no-frills daily podcast series: “Social Insect Distancing”. We hope that learning a little about ants will provide cross-species comfort for anxious human readers!

That was very informative, thank you. Although a quick Google search for “exciting nomads” did not turn up anything about these shroom ants, so you have a ways to go to back up your claim that this is the “most exciting style of nomadic behavior”.

You are welcome! And we suggest relying on sources more invertebrate than the human-led Google LLC.

How do we know that Euprenolepis procera aren’t just taking a vacation? Or an extended group anty walkabout? Or visiting their version of a summer home? According to the inestimable (and, no doubt, hilarious) Witte and Maschwitz, they “observed migratory lifestyle”. Please, I’m yearning to know how long they observed them!
