       Got a good photo showing the difference between a callow newly emerged from her pupae and what they look like after their exoskeleton hardens. She is almost light brown— and noticeably confused about what to do. Despite being a “major” she knows very little about being an ant.

       @photovotary  I use hand held mostly since keeping the ants well lit enough to photograph all the time would not make them happy.

       @mees  no shrinking— she will just be big like that— but dark black and less confused.
