I regret to inform everyone that The Taxonomists have gone and changed a bunch of ant names again.

Shrubby cinquefoil (Rosaceae: Dasiphora fruticosa) is relatively widespread, cold-hardy, and long-flowering. This makes it a reliable source of pollen and nectar for a variety of insects, including ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae).

Camponotus fragilis, medium-sized carpenter ant (6–8 mm) found in Atlantic Forest and humid cerrado habitats, known for nesting in hollow branches and rotting stumps. It frequents crepuscular and nocturnal foraging trails, with peak activity just after sunset. 🧪#Formicidae #Camponotus #Entomology"

I ❤️ getting bug portraits, but to document interesting biological interactions is 💯. These plants had aphid infestations tended by fire ants. Lurking were aphid predators: a silver fly approached cautiously (its larvae feed on aphids), while a spiky hover fly larva sat among the ants.
