Yes, how about proper credit? Charles Badland took some of these photos, and most of the nest cast photos are from my papers in the Journal of Insect Science. I realize this is an open access journal, but a condition of use is that proper credit be given. This is all clearly stated on the website http://www.insectscience.org .

[I'm not displaying any of the photos here, so I'm afraid you'd have to take up the subject with the other sites (to which I've linked). --J.]

Hey! I took some of the those photos… but I don’t see any credit. Need to talk to Dr.Tschinkel about that.

Reminds me of items I saw in an exhibition recently on brains – similar method but with resin can be used to model the blood-vessel system of animals.
The examples I saw were human brains.

They (the ants) gave their life’s work to contribute to his art. Cool architects they are.
