   merci!

   Nell: Yup. The ants you see walking around are female. Did you get a gel farm?

    merci y’all.

    Lord V: It was a Pentax Optio WP, the same waterproof camera I used for the more recent underwater shots. It has a 1cm zoom, which is just a blast to play with.

    That’s a remarkable shot – I love the texture of the exoskeleton. Makes it look really tough….

    Here’s a cool reuse, thanks to Creative Commons… flick is gracing the home page of UCSF: http://www.ucsf.edu

    
    article:

    "The beetle’s back and the crab’s shell owe their toughness to a common compound called chitin that now appears to trigger airway inflammation and possibly asthma, UCSF scientists have found.

    Insects, molds and parasitic worms — all common sources of allergies or inflammation — produce billions of tons of chitin a year. Humans and other mammals lack chitin, but we do have specialized enzymes to break it down. The scientists wondered why."
