Ghost ants, scientifically known as tapinoma melanocephalum feed on sweets. Their abdomens are transparent, therefore you can see the the food they eat in full color.

Definitely one of my favorite photographers for the always bizarre photos he produces.

Trapped in a tiny perfect sphere of water, this unlucky ant is unable to escape. A sudden downpour gave it no time to take cover, and photographer Adam Gormley was there to snap the image. Adam, from Noosaville, Queensland, Australia, had been photographing spiders in his neighbour’s garden when the rain came down. He had no idea there was an ant in one of the three millimetre droplets until he viewed the images later.

Fungi that creates ‘Zombie Ants’ discovered in Brazilian Jungle.
A zombie ant infected with the parasitic fungus bites the neck of one of its dead fellows, mistaking it for a leaf vein.
Scientists discovered four new species of fungus that infect ants, take over their bodies and eventually kill them in a place that is just right for the organism to grow inside them.
What if a fungus/bacteria had the same effect on humans?

I’m scared :(

Caddis fly larvae are known to incorporate bits of whatever they can find into their cocoons, be it fish bone or bits of leaves. Hubert Duprat gave them gold, turquoise, gems and pearls.
