Re: What An Ant Colony Looks Like Underground

That is beyond cool!

There's a live ant colony in the Natural History Museum here in London. You can view them cutting and then carrying leaves far far bigger than the ants themselves - apparently equivalent to a man carrying a double decker bus - across a twig bridge to their nest. I love watching them!

Re: What An Ant Colony Looks Like Underground

Here's a cement cast ant colony.

10 tons of cement over 3 days.

Then weeks of digging.

Wow!! That's some brown dirt! Pretty impressive home! But, I think it's pretty shitty, to, that someone comes along and pours cement down your frickin chimney, JUST so they can see the insides of your living space.
I mean, that's why ant farms and blue prints, right? Sucks for the poor ants!!
