Dear Backers,
Thanks to your generous support, I've managed to secure some simple yet crucial equipment for my ant research!
Clockwise, from top left: Entomological pins for mounting specimens, Miniscale for quick measurement under microscope, Aspirator (Pooter) for collecting small ants by suction, Sorting wells for sorting and organising specimens during microscope work.
More updates to follow soon!
Yours Sincerely,
Mark Wong

The vast majority of invertebrates remain undiscovered and understudied. This is especially true for Singapore's ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). Since the last published inventory in 1915, native ants have received very little study, despite the country's placement within a geographic hotspot for biodiversity.
My goal is to discover and document the ants of Singapore. Current work (see below) suggests that new species are waiting to be described, and I am thrilled to share this journey with you!
