air scoop?
Created: July 2, 2009 Taken From: Ant-Eutetramorium mocquerysi Snapped By: Steve Stanley (w3steve) Comments: none - add a comment Total Views: 22016 It looks like this spiracle is scooped to the fore, perhaps to work most effectively when the ant is moving forward fastest, and thus most in need of O2? I note also the spiny, not smooth, interior surface of nature's "ductwork". |
