The sad thing about South America is, unless there is some governmental miracle, its going to forever be a massive mess, thereby making proper collection difficult.
if the forests keep being cut down, the amazing ants they have will soon become extinct before we can even study or discover many of them...

Every day, 137 species in rainforests are driven to extinction. 137! It is a real problem, that we need to somehow fix, or we are never going to know about those species again.

Every day, 137 species in the amazon rainforest are driven to extinction. 137! It is a real problem, that we need to somehow fix, or we are never going to know about those species again.
that is crazy, if it is true.

Actually it is not just the amazon, it is rainforests as a whole.

ok, that makes more sense. it just makes me sad thinking about all of the species of ants that we have never discovered that have gone extinct...

You cannot truly prove those estimates--we cannot see everywhere at once. Always be wary of numbers such as those
Ants in Possession:
Lasius americanus
Nylanderia vivdula
Temnothorax rudis My Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube....94qmMPiVKmlVldA
Pheidole navigans
It is a poor reflection upon our society that we now hope for one that forces everybody to be the same. Humanity is defined by our differences, without them, we would just be monotone blobs. Think of the similarity in the fact that we are different instead of the fact that someone else is evil or "racist" because they are different.

I voted South America, though I do have to say that spider ants (Leptomyrmex erythrocephalus) are quite amazing -- they have the coolest repletes imo

I think the Melophorus bagoti repletes are the most incredible. That species is incredible at navigation, and is of course large, polymorphic, and with cool coloration.

South America has a single Leptomyrmex species too, Leptomyrmex relictus
