Hi James, I’m back with new photos 😃 do these help?

Yes they seem to have gone through some things! At least they’re in it together? (apart from the ones that have fallen off…)
I suppose it must be especially tempting with ants when they often come as a package deal 🐜🐜🐜

Here’s the empodium 👍 also is there a technique that allows you to extrude the mouthparts?

That’s brilliant, thanks for your help Derek! I wonder how they all ended up in there 🤔

Thanks Derek! I’m away from my compound microscope at the moment but I’ll try and get some images of one on a slide in the next couple of days

Must have felt good to have been part of a successful trip, congrats on your records. Interesting that they were in thyme clumps, they seem to be happy in quite a few different situations.
