One of the last tasks of my Ph.D.: depositing voucher specimens from my dissertation work.

Pretty neat that ants collected by me- and my dad!- get to live next to those collected by @corriemoreau.bsky.social and E. O. Wilson! 🐜🤩

An image of many pinned and labelled turtle ant specimens from a natural history collection. Labels indicate they were collected primarily by Corrie S. Moreau, with some collected by E. O. Wilson, Steven N. Barkdull, and Megan Barkdull.
