Speaking of ants: Of course, I made sure to spend some time observing the Australian ants 😍🐜
I proudly present my favourites:
🥉Meat ants diseccting prey 🐜🍽️
🥈A banded sugar #ant - such a beauty 🐜🤩
🥇#Myrmecia Bull ant, expert navigator using the landmark panorama 🐜🗺️

The Australian fauna is very exciting and I had the pleasure of meeting many animals😍🦘 Wallabys & kangaroos are frequent visitors. On 22nd of October was #WorldWombatDay and we celebrated it with a teamselfie🤳My highlight was the #Enchidna having breakfast at the side on the road - poor ants 😢🐜

Back home & filled with great memories of my Australia field trip🌏🇦🇺 Thanks to Eric Warrant & team @lundvision.bsky.social for hosting me & the chance for becoming a temporary moth-researcher #KonishiAward @neuroethology.org to study #magnetoreception & #navigation in the spectacular #Bogong moth🧭✨🦋

And my favorite non-insect facts are 😉👇
🥉 #Petrichor, the smell of rain, is mainly caused by one substance: geosmin @silkesachse.bsky.social 🌧👃

My favourite facts (slight bias towards insects - sorry for that 🙃)
🥉 Bombardier beetles defend themselves with tiny explosions 🤯🪲
🥈 Gall wasps are seconday vegetarians

Here we go again: field resesarch 🧪🌳✨️
First #LightTrapping session for our @sfb1372.bsky.social #arthropod #biodiversity project in collaboration with @robertrollins1892.bsky.social in @genmig.bsky.social lab from the @ifv-whv.bsky.social 💡🦋 🕷🪲🦟
I just love the trap that looks like a 👻! Or 🪼?

The past two weeks showed me why being a #neuroethologist is the best job 😍 Field work in Greece 🇬🇷:
➡️ observing #ants 🐜
➡️ lab experiments 🔬🧠
➡️ scientific discussions🧪💬
➡️ teaching & supervision
➡️ great food 🍽.
I can't wait to discuss the data in the future🤩
Thanks @chiaratenne.bsky.social & team🤗
