M. inclemens is one of the most abundant species in my yard, and I enjoy watching and photographing every summer.<br /><br />My comment is a side-note regarding your observation of the tufted males' similarity to carpenter ants. I also have a lot of T. elegans in my yard, and I have noticed that ants seem to be one of their favorite foods. (I can always count on T.
