One of the last tasks of my Ph.D.: depositing voucher specimens from my dissertation work.

An image of many pinned and labelled turtle ant specimens from a natural history collection. Labels indicate they were collected primarily by Corrie S. Moreau, with some collected by E. O. Wilson, Steven N. Barkdull, and Megan Barkdull.
