| Description |
Funnel Ant, probably an Aphaenogaster, a species of Formicinae. Wandoo National Park, Western Australia, May 2012. Wikipedia suggests that in building the mounds, bioturbation is an important part of the soil and landscape, and the funnel shape may help trap small beasts for food. The colour of the mound is quite different to the colour of the surface sand. Even digging into the ground near this mound failed to show up any sand that was this colour. So what's going on? Is this mound some product of the ant itself? Is it made of sand grains held together with some ant-glue? Is it made of sand grains at all? Of course, I didn't take any away so I can't even look at it more closely from the inquisitiveness of my desk. |
