I am a firefly researcher and I have been collaborating with the Boston Museum of Science on a Citizen Science Firefly Survey on-line. We are interested in the distribution of firefly populations and we need your help.
Please follow this link to the website to participate in the survey:

A friend's son, who is very interested in ants, sent me the link to this video about leafcutter ants and the amazing architecture of their hives. The sheer scale of it is impressive, especially given the size of its builders.
