Additional info: This is a dragonfly nymph. It has jaws that can shoot out to grab prey like the goddamn Xenomorph.

So wait, I just caught up to the most recent eps, and I saw an interesting thing regarding dragonflies. They reject the ant hierarchy and live in hunter packs? How does that work? I thought all macrovolutes were under ant rule! This is fascinating to me I didn't even consider that there could be dragonfly macrovolutes!
Ants don't like swamps ;)

I’ve seen a few ~aesthetic~ photos of rock stacks in rivers recently and this is just a reminder that you are destroying habitat when you move rocks around in rivers and streams.
In addition to dragonfly nymphs, rocky river beds are home to lots of other larval invertebrates like damselflies, mayflies, water beetles, caddisflies, stoneflies, and a bunch of dipterans. Not to mention lots of fish and amphibians!
Plus large scale rock stacking can change the flow of a stream and lead to increased erosion.
Anyway dragonfly for admiration:
