The ant “foot” consists of a tarsal claw with two toes and the several segments above that I suspect are simply… well…floppy. Basically, I’ve seen no evidence ants can wiggle their ankles at will, but rather they seem to adjust the floppiness, or tension of the lower leg. The claws, however, show signs of dexterity, ants can control how sticky the soft pad of their foot is, but also seem to be able to grip and release with their claws. (how exactly are the muscles arranged?)

Another view that includes the segments above which I suspect to be “floppy” the ant leg is often covered in hairs.

@futurebird I love your ant missives. Such cool little creatures.

Absolutely, positively, in no way is it OK to compare the face of this 75,000 year old Neanderthal to Marjorie Taylor Greene

also…hehehehehe. 🇺🇸

@flexghost They are incomparable. One is a backward creature from an ancient time period with a sloped forehead and minimal intelligence, and the other is a Neanderthal.

@idoubtit @GottaLaff Teslas are junk. I can’t recommend them for anything.
