Traditional ant names
Traditional ant names are based on one ant virtue as the first name and one ant “intimidating quality” as the last name.
For example:
Temperance the Absconder
Proportionality the Relentless
Synchronicity the Amputator
Alacrity the Calculating
Efficiency the Eternal Witness

Hey
I’m Irina/Myrmeco, and I’m the lead writer and developer of Monachopsia Project.
Monachopsia is a vast, multi-part fantasy story, centering around different dimensions, featuring a large number of (mostly) humanoid monster races.
So I’ve been working on this project for literal years, and I’m finally at a point where I’m comfortable putting it out there. This is literally my life’s work, so I hope it’s something that people can really enjoy!
That being said, I do plan to update this blog with info on the characters, races, worlds, and overall lore semi-regularly!

Ant...
Greatness in small packages
Strength in the most unlikely of places
Bonds unbreakable in all situations
Common mind, goals accomplished
Strength in numbers, defeat isn't a thing
Alone one can do little; but together nothing is out of reach

Let me know what you think and pass the thought along my friends 🐜.

hey wait whats wrong with coyote peterson, i cant find stuff on him and im trying to figure it out
He's a wildlife sensationalist that's unethical and unprofessional in both his 'research' and handling of animals. People generally love him because he's apparently "continuing Steve Irwin's legacy" but he's doing it in a wrong way.

Alex Wild (@Myrmecos) When the bumble bee flies against our aerodynamic expectations, we don’t knock it to the ground, or scold it for being impossible, or bar it from bathrooms. No. We figure out how we botched the aerodynamics, because bumble bees really do fly. And trans people exist.
Probably my favourite explanation on scientists adjusting their views on “sex” using the metaphor of the humble bumblebee.

heya, i just wanted to ask how and where you get most of your info on arthropods/other "weird" critters. i wanna learn more about them, but idk where to start
Info on wikipedia is actually pretty great for that, people do add almost every known fact to most pages, although for more obscure species you have to dig to find much more.
Some great online blogs (some still updating, some not but with big archives!) include: Gwen Pearson (Bug Girl) on Wired
Catalogue of Organisms
Myrmecos (also a nature photography blog, and has special focus on ants)
Fly obsession - just flies!

If you look up "symbolism of ants" most often mentioned are efficiency & industrious ... but if you really watch ants you'll discover they aren't efficient at all. I have no doubt that they want to be efficient. It's listed as an "ant virtue" in my plans for their planet. It's one of the most popular ant names. In reality ants struggle a with all tasks it's more about brute force & sheer numbers than efficiency.
Industriousness? "do what you know you can do; no more, no less" is the ant motto.

If I were on @Tesla’s board, I’d be thinking about ways to jettison Elon Musk before consumers start associating their brand with white supremacy and ethnic cleansing.

Luiz Rocha:
Update: Nobody harmed, invertebrate and dry collections lost, wet vertebrate collection and herbarium safe

Spider Joe:
The type specimens of as many as 813 species of spiders were destroyed in fire today at #MuseuNacional. Up to 813 species definitions lost. That's like losing color charts and being left w/ names like azure, cyan, turquoise and their written descriptions.
https://twitter.com/JosephTLapp/status/1036494985896644608
Alex Wild:
The Brazilian National Museum Fire may have destroyed several hundred type specimens of spiders. These are the specimens that legally anchor the biological species to the scientific name. Their destruction will put a lot of scientific names in limbo.
