    The document summarizes an internship with an entomologist studying ants. The internship involved researching characteristics of ants in the genus Acropyga that could be used to identify new species. The student looked at ants under a microscope to examine anatomy and distinguish between Acropyga species. Classifying new species expands scientific knowledge and gives each species an identifying name.
