And now for something completely different...
A brief paean to the joy of studying ecology and its Greek-inspired, Aristotle-approved vocabulary:
 |
| Bull's-horn acacia (Acacia collinsii) loving its ants (Pseudomyrmex spinicola) (Alex Wild, 2007) http://www.myrmecos.net/ |
For some would seem utterly vile.
But were you a plant,
Defended by ant –
Your love would show staggering guile.
or alternatively:
Engaging in myrmecophily
To some would seem perfectly silly.
But defended plants know
That ants help you grow:
Don't shun or get eaten alive-ily.
