I love this image! I'm compos
I love this image! I'm composing a presentation for a class in soil geomorphology and I was wondering if it is possible to use your image?

I will add your name to the citations and full credit will be given.

If not I understand fully, thanks for adding the image!

Yes
You may use the image for your class presentation. (Normally a request like that is done via email so as not to clog the BugGuide site with requests.)

Formica sp. - male
Telling even the species group is hardly possible without conspecific members of the female gender - queens or workers.
