Ants!
A Friends of Fresh Pond Reservation Program
Dave Lubertazzi (standing) is a myrmecologist - a scientist who studies
ants. He shared some of his knowledge with us and kept us enthralled,
with his descriptions, anecdotes, slides, and videos. We had planned
to look at ants outside, but rain kept us indoors. We learned from Dave,
however, that cool temperatures, such as we had on Saturday, would keep
the ants underground, so we would not have seen them if we had ventured
out.
