Now I know the genus of ant that I was observing (and sketching) with the stereo-micro, after having discovered them crawling around in the leaf litter collected from Monte Sano, in Huntsville, Ala. That was in Botany lab (after lab was over, and I was just enjoying the use of the microscopes), as an undergrad, over ten years ago.<BR/>Actually, I may have narrowed it down to at least the family, and perhaps several genii (genuses?)--after browsing through Wilson's "The Ants", but I honestly can't remember.

How cool it is to stumble upon a blog and see a rarely seen or mentioned species that you've had the privilege of encountering, like meeting an old friend again, and catching up on life.<BR/>I wonder what species I was examining?
