¿Y si te dijera que hay un mundo "invisible" bajos tus pies, lleno de animales que nadie ve pero que lo sostienen todo?🔍
Mi tesis va de ellos: la meiofauna. 🪱🦂

Sobering... fish and crustaceans that live deeper are ingesting more #microplastics than those closer to the surface 🌐🧪https://aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/lno.12370

An ant biting my insect specimen?! 🐜 ⚠️

We recently reported an unusual sighting: a fire ant biting a giant hawkmoth that was collected 38 years ago! 🤯

However, many of these cases remain undescribed and are still hidden away in cabinets, drawers and literature. Unknown field observations 📷, papers 📄, books 📖, museum specimens... Everything helps!

Spread the word of these ant(agonistic) interactions! 🐜💥
