Q: How do I tell if I have an obsession with ants?

September 26, 2009 by myrmecos

A: Check your house for any signs of ant-art. If, for instance, your garage sports a giant blue Azteca, you might have developed a myrmecological fixation.

On the other hand, if you consider yourself an ant-lover but lack any obvious ant adornments, you’re falling behind.  Pick up some paint and get to work!

(This garage belongs to myrmecologists Ivette Perfecto and John Vandermeer, who sent in the picture.  Thanks guys!)
