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

Thierry Denis INRA Bordeaux / Agroecological health of the vineyard. He studies the behavioral ecology of insects and is trying to develop countermeasures based on their behavior. For him, the use of insecticides is not faultless because it disperses the insecticide in nature. Here, an experiment on a young nest seeks to determine the hornets' favorite food sources. France
