Ant communication, SEM
Ant communication. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of three wood or heathland ants (Formica fusca) communicating. Ants are social insects that form large colonies. Communication is used to convey a range of information, such as the position of a new food source. This may involve physical contact by the rubbing together of their antennae or their forelegs, but communication is usually by the release of chemical signals called pheromones. Physical contact can help to reinforce these chemical signals. Magnification: x13 when printed 10cm wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate world of ant communication. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), three wood or heathland ants from the species Formica fusca can be seen engaged in a fascinating exchange. Ants, being social insects, rely heavily on effective communication within their large colonies. Communication among ants serves various purposes, including conveying vital information such as the location of a new food source. This remarkable interaction involves physical contact through the rubbing together of their antennae or forelegs. However, it is primarily facilitated by chemical signals known as pheromones that are released into their environment. The image showcases these tiny creatures at a magnification of x13 when printed 10cm wide, revealing intricate details often unseen to the naked eye. The trio of ants appear to be actively engaging with one another, emphasizing the significance of physical contact in reinforcing their chemical messages. As we delve into this mesmerizing glimpse into nature's wonders, we are reminded once again of how even seemingly small organisms possess complex behaviors and sophisticated means of communication. Through images like this one captured by Science Photo Library, we gain a deeper appreciation for the intricacies and beauty found within our natural world.
