Pond Creatures... men you could learn from these fellows......:))
« on: April 23, 2008, 05:55:18 AM »
Okay so I dont have dragonflies or anything to pretty to share but I was working out yesterday and I keep seeing these "things" move up the bank... leaves, bark etc etc. so I stopped to take a look and I ended up watching these ants building for a long time.. pretty interesting....

Sooooooo I figured they must have a queen "ant" that they are doing all this work for... heres these little tiny ants moving mountains for their lady and just knew you men would want to learn from them.. :)

Cool pics Tinkster!  I would be mesmerized watching the ants working so hard pulling objects way larger than themselves around.

Ant colonies are fascinating and so are bees.

I could have taught them a thing or two when I was digging my 5' deep hole in August when it was 110! That or I could have used about 10,000 of them to help!
