Super impressive work here by Giannetti and colleagues (+ accompanying blog post by me)!

The use of 3D printing here is really striking and clearly the ants agree as these galls are highly attractive to ants, promising as a chemical-free pest control solution

It's the final day of #Ento24, and last but certainly not least, meet Plenary Susanne Foitzik in Teaching Room 6 for a chat before her talk on "(Co)Evolution and molecular regulation of ant behaviour, chemical and life history traits".
