MICROSCOPY UK / MICSCAPE - Ant from the Antipodes , Australian ant Coniferae, Walnut Tree Lane, Loose, Maidstone, Kent, ME15 9RG, UK. One of my grandsons went walkabout in Australia and sent me two very dried up ants. They were very brittle and one broke up, originally the bodies were brown except for the abdomen which was a blue/green colour obviously coloured by the contents. The Aborigines bite off the abdomen and eat them as a source of vitamins. My grandson tried them and declared the taste quite pleasant.
