Bonus fact: It’s believed that SOME of these guys may be adapted to live only in the cavities of specific arthropods–for example, one particular species may choose to inhabit only cavities left by a specific species of beetle larva–which lets them know exactly what size their head needs to be!!! Other species will just use however many ants it takes to fully block out the hole! So cool!!!!!

Emily sits in front of a wall decorated with insect specimens and art as she speaks directly to the camera. She is a white woman with shoulder-length brown hair and short brown bangs. She is wearing square glasses, gold hoops, a white button down, a beige vest and a brown knit cardigan. Her facial expressions convey awe and enthusiasm.
