Namib desert dune ants #179406890
Description
The Namib Desert dune ants on sand. Closeup of four ants. The legs of this desert ant are about five millimeters long. They lift the ant to a height where temperatures are up to ten centigrade (50 Fahrenheit) cooler than directly on the sand surface. The ant gets its fluids from honeydew, excreted by plant-sucking scale insects.
