Learning about Basiceros tumucumaquensis, a cryptic “dirt ant” of South America:
“virtually nothing is known about this ant”
Great.
“but we did collect two near a Brazil nut tree and watched them for three days” (paraphrasing)
“They didn’t do much, then they died”
Great.
“when disturbed may enter thanatosis”
Oh neat! I wonder what “thanatosis” means? It sounds very exciting! Did they bite? Sting? Something worse?
“a state of involuntary paralysis triggered by fear”
Great
