Found this. This species of cockroach are only found in Leaf Cutting Ant nests. These two are hitching a ride on a male atta. Apart from how ridiculous the males look with their tiny heads, (with only enough room for one thought I think) this is amazing to see.

Most likely, I remember when I was flapping about seeing mites in my dump chamber and continuously emailing you to make sure they were harmless. Turns out there's loads of crawlies in dump chambers.Acromyrmexbob wrote:Not sure, suspect that they will be dump chamber mongers!
