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.
