Australian Ants
The wayward southern continent of Australia is famous for the strange and relictual creatures that have evolved in nearly complete isolation. The ants are no exception. Australia's ant fauna is both diverse and exceptionally abundant, with a host of species found nowhere else.
Technomyrmex difficilis, the white-footed ant, has spread around the world with commerce and is now common in many tropical countries. Here, a worker carries a pupa.
