Workers of New Ant Species Have Big, Weird Heads

This Charlie-Brown-looking insect is not a special kind of ant—it’s a special kind of a special kind of ant. This is one of two species discovered Western Kenya, the other one being Carebara phragmotica. These two ants were originally plucked from leaf litter, then mis-categorized as other ants, before being revealed to be their own species.

Ha! I got species all around me that have not been identified ( or 'discovered' ... by others ).. also, they come and go. Like the miniature scorpions made from tiny black spheres segmented together , that invaded my outside dunny one year, the web 'abesailing , watersailing, web/net throwing fishing caterpillar ...

(I even have a bird that flies over from from south america some years to sit in a tree outside my window and squark for a month before it flies back .... because, I am told its species' territory 'split' and got wider apart and made the journey a bit longer each year ( as south America was supposed to be joined to Australia !

Who knows what these guys get up to ! :)
