      <image:title>Visual Naturebook - Juniper Woodland Series: Part 1 -  Looking Down - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Self-portrait with Owyhee harvester ants and skeleton plant. Old-growth juniper woodlands. Central Oregon. June 2026. A colony of Owyhee harvester ants was hard at work. These ants were reddish-brown, pugnacious, aggressive, and venomous. They evolved to get shit done and be together. Some colonies thrive for 30 years. One study east of here at Horse Ridge Natural Area found about 40 nests of Owyhee harvester ants. Each colony showed seed predation, enabling a transformation of 46,000 square meters of barren landscape. They re-engineered the landscape into barren zones. Grazing behaviors of sheep, cattle, and ants perform similar functions, just over different time scales.</image:caption>
