It was so good to go to my supermarket this afternoon and see several people with no masks. Finally, we are dispensing with this nonsense. This was in Danbury, CT.
Anyway, it's pretty amazing how much weight (relative to their own weight) that little ants can carry.
It's just the weirdest thing.
When I smash a big ant on my patio, suddenly a bunch of little ants surround it and carry it away. To where, I have no idea. But they are taking it someplace and they evidently have a purpose. They are quite organized. I often wonder what goes on inside their little brains.
It's almost like the little ants serve as undertakers for the bigger ants.
Sometimes this one tiny ant is carrying this humongous large ant all by itself. You should try it and see for yourself.
Having DT’s, huh?
What happens when you run out of big ants?
Maybe, "Hey that big piece of meat that is watching us could keep generations of us alive. Pray He collapses."
If you want to laugh until your sides hurt, read the short story “A Laborious Ant”, by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens).
“Ants are incredibly complex and miraculous creatures.”
When I was little, our very long church sidewalk had a few ant colonies on the grass next to the sidewalk. (Are they called “colonies? I don’t know.) I liked to watch them in action. They were so interesting.
We couldn’t afford “real” pets - LOL.
Excellent movie starring James Whitmore and James Arness right before he took on the role of Marshall Matt Dillon.
In Costa Rica for 5 days and yesterday got a bug sticky paper catcher, already have a quartet of cockroaches.
this worthless nonsense should be on Facebook instead of here
I don’t have a Facebook account. Maybe you can post it there for me and see what kind of reaction it gets.
Do they sing in close barbershop harmony?
dude, you’ve got most of the go-go’s
Coooooolest.
whereas mindless and pointless bitching about virtually everything is oddly perfectly at home here.
think that snit through.
Think we could we recruit some of THEM to patrol the Mexican border?
If I kill a big ant on my patio, a bunch of little ants appear and carry it away
It is a funeral procession by the kids.
I think that’s what Ant-ifa does when they confront a group of Patriots.
I always assumed the small ants would take the ‘fallen’ soldier back to their nest. They would dismantle the carcass and stow away for food reserves primarily for their egg laying Queen of the Ants.
Sort of like a Chop Shop for stolen cars, where nothing is wasted.
Fire ants suck.
You’re lucky they did not come after you.
No actually they were just recycling.
