1. Title: "Wood Ants: A 1950s Discovery of the Female and Male Forms" This photograph print, dating back to the 1950s, showcases the intriguing world of wood ants, specifically the female and male forms of the species Formicidae Pratennis. The image, captured in a time when the natural world was still largely unexplored, offers a glimpse into the intricacies of these fascinating insects. The top half of the photograph reveals the regal figure of a wood ant queen, her robust body adorned with intricate details, including her large, mandibled head and powerful legs. Her exoskeleton is a complex mosaic of brown and red hues, which perfectly camouflages her against the forest floor. The queen's role in the colony is crucial, as she is responsible for laying eggs and ensuring the colony's growth and survival. In stark contrast, the bottom half of the image reveals the slender, agile form of a wood ant worker or male. His elongated mandibles and slender legs are well-suited for foraging and defending the colony. The male's body is a uniform brown color, providing him with excellent camouflage in his woodland habitat. Wood ants, also known as formic ants, are social insects that live in large colonies, often found in dead or decaying wood. They are known for their complex social structures and intricate behaviors, making them a subject of fascination for scientists and naturalists alike. This photograph print, with its stunning detail and timeless appeal, serves as a testament to the enduring allure of the natural world and the wonders that lie hidden within it. The photograph print, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable addition to any collection of natural history images or for those with an interest in entomology and the natural world. It offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a window into a time when the wonders of the natural world were still being discovered and documented.
