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.
“When I smash a big ant on my patio”
Uhhhh no, there was nothing left to carry away if you “smashed” it other than a little liquid spot on the cement. Try setting this up again.
I smash it with my finger and there is still plenty for the little ants to carry away.
Hey, its crown...we understand.
What’s worse than ants in you pants ? Uncles in them
THEM! - Nimoy and Parker - Leonard and Fess - THEM!

Yes.
Nutria problem solved yet? Rodents that burrow in a levy preventing water from inundating the neighborhoods 18 feet lower elevation, might be more on point?
I like the food here.
Proverbs 6:6.
A large black wasp was making a raid on some other insect’s abode. Once it chewed a large enough opening, the wasp then kicked 6 grubs that had been in the lair to the ground.
It wasn’t 5 seconds before ants were on the grubs,(still alive), carting them off to their doom.
Nature, it’s brutal.
One of my favorite movies growing up.
Ha!
thanks for posting :)

No, no, no...you've got it all wrong. The OP is merely the vehicle for dozens of responses guaranteed for multiple belly laughs, which enhance the health of the reader.
IOW, Sam is doing a public service by starting this thread.
BTW, my ants are like the Dallas Cowboys: they haven't done squat in 25 years.
There’s an excellent Far Side cartoon of a bunch of ants carrying a baby and they’re met at the entrance of the nest by another ant who is yelling “You idiots! We’ll never get that thing down the hole!’’
