In a new research from India, a team of researchers discovered a unique, stunning blue-coloured ant species in the "biodiversity hotspot" of Arunachal Pradesh.

This discovery is a fitting tribute to the centennial anniversary of the "Abhor" expedition, a military expedition which also extensively documented the natural history and geography of Siang Valley.
