What is a gamergate?
Friendly reminder about the word #gamergate
Tumblr media
A "gamergate" (pronounced like "gamete") is a mated worker ant with the potential to become a queen of the colony. This is believed to be how early ant colonies worked before the physical differences between queens and workers became more pronounced in the majority of ant species. Diacamma, Harpegnathos and Ophthalmopone genus ants still have this ability.
This is the *only* significant meaning the word "gamergate" has had and will ever have.

I'm sorry... but look at her. She's like a cartoon character. "harpos" are very popular among antkeepers and their ability to choose new queens makes for interesting colony dynamic. They duel each other with their long mandibles to decide who will be queen.
And they can jump!

Ant Queen. ''Oh, it's great. Finally, someone understands my ideas. Only, they keep bringing me crumbs and grasshopper legs. I could really go for a salad.''

Colony updates!
I saw the biggest ant in my colonies, the huge queen of my Camponotus pennsylvanicus is alive and laying eggs.

She is four years old.

Meanwhile the cone ants (Dorymyrmex) are raising queen alates! look how huge they are.
Tumblr media
And the ruby minis (Camponotus discolor) have tons of eggs!

A Druid Bouvier des Flandres!
A simple boy, he made a small mistake. Or perhapes it was a small blessing. Either way- he carries her and her children with him. And she harms all who stand in his way.
All the Dogs so far!
