What is *Your* Ant Name?
For the first name pick an "ant virtue"

 

Temperance
Stigmergy
Swift
Felicity
Harmony
Journey
Efficiency
Alacrity
Merida
Synchronicity
Constance
Vivacity
Irie
Proportionality
Fortune
Zeal
Haven
Foster
Hero

 

 

Then pick an "ant intimidating quality"

the amputator
the immeasurable
the relentless
the innumerable
the decimator
the roguish
the unmitigated
the merciless
the annihilator
the unyielding
the countless
the absconder

 

 

Example:

"Hi, I'm Synchronicity the Innumerable"

Feel free to add your own in accordance with ant values.


Starting this July I'm posting videos of my ants every week on youTube.

I like to make relaxing videos that capture the joy of watching ants.

If that sounds like your kind of thing... follow me >here<.

Hello

The latinized taxonomy makes it sound very medieval, I actually really like this.

"God made..... all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds (including ants). And God saw that it was good. Genesis 1:25 NIV version

 

Formerly called AntsDakota, not to be confused with Ants_Dakota (hence the name change). You can still call me Adak.

Formica cf. ravida, cf. obscuriventris
