@wtrmt @futurebird On a semi-related note, the Berlin Naturkundemuseum has a fantastic giant model of an ant eating some honeydew that I spent quite a bit of time looking at. The ant is about the size of a beagle and beautifully detailed.

This is amazing.
Should we be worried about creating giant mutant ants here? I'm getting comic book origin story vibes....

@wtrmt @futurebird 5 websites and 20 minutes of clicking later, I have yet to discover a 3d rotatable model of an ant. Not for amateurs.

@Wyatt_H_Knott @futurebird the models in the article are scans of the real thing. Amazing stuff.

@wtrmt @futurebird I went to the site that said you could look at models, I looked at a lot of slices, I ended up getting switched to like 3 different sites, and never once found a link to a rotatable 3d model. Clearly I am incompetent.

@Wyatt_H_Knott @futurebird I’m sorry, I just watched the 3D rotation of the ant in the article. Maybe you can see more rotations on the same YouTube channel?

Would be nice to get more biographical details of the artist added into the entry at

Looks to me like it's a carnivorous ant...

@ater @wtrmt @futurebird The honeydew is quite well represented, too...

Found them. They're two links away from the article. Then two more links to get to 3D.
I got there by clicking the link in the article called "interactive online portal", then on the next page the link with BIOMEDISA on the button. Now click on a model, the page with slices loads, look at the bottom left of the page for the button "Mesh" and click that, wait for it to load. You should see a rotatable 3D model.
