RE: Fuck It, Here Goes - Five Facts About Me
No way! Thanks for taking the time to read all that. We who appreciate ants are rare enough, so I'm delighted to have you on board. Following you now. Gonna head over and read that blog now too.

Being common certainly doesn't make them any less interesting than other ants.
Love, love, love the ants.
One of my favourite moments was watching workers hold a fresh born, ant outstretched while another held a grain of sand in it's mouth and scrub it all over. Amazing, intimate and quite incredible to watch. I'm not sure if it was to stimulate it or clean it. perhaps both, but it was nothing compared to the story of the blow fly leg multi-tool.
