Hey all! There's an ant colony in my backyard where some of the workers have this yellow stuff on them. I doubt it's genuine markings, as it's much too varied and inconsistent. So i'm wondering if anyone knows what this stuff is. Pollen?

I think it's pollen. If they are acting weird then it might be a fungus.

Maybe they were visiting some flowers for nectar :)
