Invertebrates

Found this weird ant on our table, it has a very big head. Does anyone know what type of ant this is? (Found in New Zealand). Im guesing because of its large mandibles its probably not a worker ant instead perhaps its a soldier.

This creepy crawly was found living in a rarely used toilet in Brussels.

NB This is a post I did on awwnverts and decided to add it here. I've included some extra photos of ol' Eunice, as I wanted to show how beautifully iridescent it is, as well as some really nice (glamorous) head shots!

No fun facts from me, but i like how when i tried to pick it up with a stick, it tilt its back toward the stick to protect its belly. Interesting creature!
