Colonie de fourmis du genre "Azteca", hébergée dans le tronc et les branches creux des plantes à fourmis du genre "Cecropia", au Costa Rica. La cavité interne est segmentée en cellules occupées par les fourmis. Ces dernières protègent la plante des herbivores, en échange de sa protection et de sa nourriture.
Our work is guided by the way scientists question the world around them and we translate their research into images to help people to understand the world better and to awaken their curiosity and wonderment.
