When I first caught this ant I was curious to see if I could capture a good image of the little leg. I was so surprised to get a good image of the mandible and even more surprised to see it was moving!
I am a teacher at home from school during school closures in California due to COVID-19. Foldscoping is a great way to explore. Let’s all keep being curious about the tiny things in our world.
