Recent floods and the
installation of artificial
turf had forced Ant Colony 307B to relocate at a far corner of an artichoke field. The ant army acted as a unit to move
every member from the arterial
twists and turns of the now drenched network of their former home.
Moving the queen ant with
her arsenal of ant larvae and drones had proved to be most interesting. Trudging through soggy tunnels had revealed
an unknown treasure of collected artwork. Minute paint chips, grains of paprika, and
tiny shreds of colored paper lined walls of the queen’s chamber.
The treasure remained
behind as the tunnels collapsed.
Just how extensive is an ant colony/hill? Watch this video (if you have Adobe Flash Player).
