At the end of the cleaning, the repletes open their mandibles to provide access to a sort of stopper inside their mouths and a drop of nectar comes out to feed the worker ant.

The Honey Ants Dream. Since the time of the first contact, in the fifties or sixties around Alice Springs, the Aborigines' diet has undergone a complete change. Within one generation they went from a 70% plant-based diet, with just some lean meats and practically no sugar, to a 90% industrial diet rich in sugar and fat. Diabetes, high cholesterol, kidney and liver cancer affect a great number of the Aborigines in the northern territories. Northern Territory, Australia

The Honey Ants Dream. Audrey Martin, as we were harvesting the honey ants' nest, threw her burrowing stick at a lizard. The scene played out in a few seconds despite the outside temperature of 40°. This 59-year-old Aborigine woman threw the stick and began digging up a rabbit hole where the reptile went to hide, triumphantly dragging the lizard out and finishing it off.

The Honey Ants Dream. Audrey Martin, a 59-year-old Aborigine woman digging with a burrowing stick, these days made of metal. Once made of acacia aneura wood, this stick was also used as much to dig up honey ants and tubers as to throw at prey such as lizards and other small animals. Northern Territory, Australia

The Honey Ants Dream. The women and the children participate in this harvest on the plains full of mulga trees. The Aborigines locate the honey ants at the foot of the tree by the size and the yellow grooves of the worker ants but also through the discoloration of the ground due to the formic acid with which the ants impregnate their nests and surroundings. The ground thus saturated turns a more orange color. Once the women have found the nest's entrance they dig vertically, following the main tunnel. The honey ants are very placid even if they do have powerful mandibles. Northern Territory, Australia

The Honey Ants Dream. The behaviour of these small-brained insects often seems to embody characteristics we wish were more apparent in ourselves, such as a selflessness on behalf of the community and the ability to plan ahead in order to replace scarcity with plenty. Of course when times are really hard ants have also been known to eat their offspring – but then no society is perfect. Northern Territory, Australia
