About This Image

An Australian desert ant deciding which way is home.

When displaced from their regular routes, workers of the Australian desert ant Melophorus bagoti rotate on the spot, producing visual scans of the world, before setting off in a seemingly purposeful manner. In this image a worker with her prized cookie crumb is photographed on a goniometer that is used to record her directional choice. (See Baddeley et al., doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1002336)
