I checked out your yuku thing, seems cool...I don't quite understand you vote for captions people leave for the given image? is that what that specific forum is for? do you get spam from joining yuku? perhaps I should leave my own caption as for other ant images, like I said before I have a cutaway of an antlion in the portfolio, but the real cool thing I am working on now is a side by side double cutaway of a paussine and a cicindelid larva, showing how they took different evolutionary paths to ambushing ants and whatever else wanders by their dens. I know I know, I keep focusing on ants as larva fodder, I have to make some illustration showing them as top of the chain! let me know what cool ant things you come across that need a tight illustration that I can one day use to convince a magazine or scientist to hire me! I am open. cheers, marlin hey antfarmer!
