Leaf Cutting Ant Forum

Absolutely amazing and so glad everything worked out so well.

Looks like there thriving, nice one! Can't wait see them in main exhibit.

Truly spectacular. Its amazing how it managed to recover so well. And it sounds like a fantastic place!

Wow amazing pics of there colony's and set up i hope you keep us up to date if they make new queens and males there etc I no not yet but in time

Cant remember if I posted this here but I am now scheduled to return to South Korea sometime on the next while to help relocate the colonies into their public display. Will be great to see them again and get more pics!

Just got some new pictures of the setup I worked on in October in South Korea.
The biggest two colonies have now been moved on public display.....























I think the display is one of the best I have ever seen. In fact all 8 colonies that I took to South Korea, 4 Atta and 4 Acromyrmex, have survived and thrived. A real stunning achievement.

It's really unbelievable with no expense spared from the photos, bet your really looking forward to seeing this one again.

Love it.. how brilliant... I like the use of the term "mushroom farm"..

The entrance way to the exhibit has had a new sculpture added which shows the attention to detail that the staff at the Institute of Ecology in South Korea have. It looks amazing!







and....
me and my really good pal, Chae Eun, who is responsible for looking after the ants. Chae Eun worked with me during my time on South Korea. You might notice I am clean shaved and tidy in this picture. I had to change my normally slovenly appearance whilst there because I did not think it was respectful to be unshaved and dressed down. Different culture, different ways!

Amazing, best I've ever seen by far but the real measure is you saying that with 20 plus years in the field.

Andrew I was about to write have you been hitting the botox! Knocked ten years off lol. I'll need to try this shaving washing thing
