Big Ant Ball
Do you know what a Big Ant Ball is? Well, I didn't know what it was until when I was about 6 years old. It's not too much of a story but it goes like this:
There used to be a colony of weaver ants in our back yard and them god-knows-how-many creepers they swarm my pants all the time. Thinking to be an entomologist someday (or if that is what is called) I launched an expriment for the sake of science. And the bejesus out of me as well, not having learned to love mother nature so much just yet and respect life and all things bright and beautifully creeping, I started the project on one hot and humid afternoon.
With Rugby in tow (that local glue that comes from gasoline and styrofoam), I stuck a globule-of-sorts into a twig and left it in the open for an ant to get trapped at. Pretty soon, with the ants being well too civil (unlike us sometimes), the other ants came to the rescue of a lone ant trapped and sticking to the glue...5 hours later, I got a big ball of ants. Scared that they may exact revenge on me and creep up my pants, I helped them all out after the thingy has dried a bit. By that time though the ants figured out a way to avoid the glue and rescue the damsels and the morsels trapped.
911 heh? well we don't have that here.
