🖼️ Image 1 – Hypothetical reconstruction of the queen. This is what she might have looked like had she founded a colony instead of fossilizing after drowning in a water pool. The queen and her first nurse are shown tending eggs and larvae of two generations.

I recently posted a picture of a large Dorylus molestus army ant worker from Mount Kenya. Here is the same ant again, but this time in comparison to its smaller sisters. These ants are incredibly polymorphic, and the different worker types take on different tasks in the colony.

My chapter - authored with @tattersdill.bsky.social - in the new Palaeontology in Public book is "The ‘Spin’ in Spinosaurus: inventing a modern dinosaur superstar", discussing changing depictions and attitudes towards this now A-list dinosaur - read it here: uclpress.co.uk/book/palaeon... #palaeoart

A series of grey-shaded line drawings showing the changing shape of the sail-backed predatory dinosaur Spinosaurus over the last 100 years, moving through sometimes upright, sometimes spiny, sometimes T. rex-like depictions to longer-snouted, "newt-tailed" versions.
