Foraging, fighting, carrying larvae to a new nest, even winged princesses and their consorts, emerging from the nest to found new colonies: here are ants in action. Ants of many sizes and functions: some ants’ heads dwarf the entire bodies of others. (Some species even have “majors” and “minors”, quite different sizes and functions in the same species, all sisters.) Most of these photos were taken at Jasper Ridge; all show one of the dozen ant species found here. Jack Owicki’s photos are identified in the captions. Or, just look for photos in focus!
