I really loved this one.http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0041010104001795Maybe one day I will also experiment with this venom? These weird animals are quite nasty sometimes!.. Interesting communication platform for exchanging ant samples! Hope this will "catch" and boost research in Myrmecology. I was the very first to enter a request, will post here what becomes of it!! So! I have been away from this blog for quite a while... Will try to make up for this. I will following proceed with a series of posts on ideas I mentioned in a book chapter I just published. The complete reference for this chapter (online since SEPTEMBER 2014) and respective link is http://link.springer.com/referenceworkentry/10.1007/978-94-007-6649-5_38-1Let us see how much impact is generated by some facts I mention on this chapter!.. For instance, did you read the statement given by Bates(1856) in his famous The Naturalist on the River Amazons, describing the problem with fire ants in the Brazilian Amazon? Thisspecies is exclusively found in sandy soils, in open semi-cultivated orneglected places [where] they increase only in the neighbourhood of desertedhouses or unweeded plantations; consequently they are a scourge only to thelazy and worthless people that inhabit the shores of this magnificent river. Poor fellow, he was unaware that, essentially 100 years later, these fire ants would become ascourge to many different peoples around the planet! Curiously the specific passage seems to have been censored out without notice from present today's digital public copies of this book!! Man, this is sooo typical American Merchandise... thought it worth posting. Dear readers and passersby!I am proud to announce that the latest paper describing a new method for extracting fire ant venom has been published. I am afraid access is open only to academic researchers -- the .pdf can be downloaded for free HERE.Well, basically all one has to do it to collect a fire ant nest, get the ants out, and dip them into a mixture of two solvents. Apolar solvent will hold venom alkaloids (LOTS OF IT) and water will hold venom proteins and peptides (VERY TOXIC). Now you have only to find ways of evaporating these liquids safely and store the venom.Easy and quick, if you are not afraid of manipulating a whole horde of angry fire ants. At least workers cannot fly! I must warn you that the venom components are dangerous, and should be handled with great care. The concentrated mixture looks very much like snake venom. Not for evil purposes!! Have fun and give me some feed back, please. A demonstrative video can be downloaded from here. It can be viewed below: antmaps.org!"The goal of antmaps.org is to
