Yes, yes! This was my Monday!!

Happy start of the week to all.

And now for something completely different!
Sitting here having my coffee watching an ant.
We all know that ants are amazing creatures.
Recently I picked up a stick and had a painful encounter with some fire ants still have some welts on my hand and arm to remember them by nasty little buggers.
As I watch this ant something occurred to me that I had never thought of before.
For some of us who had ant farms when we were kids we remember watching them as they dug their little tunnels.
What occurred to me was that ants live most of their lives underground in the dark!
Unless they are carrying little torches which I've never seen them do.
All that work is done in the dark amazing and I'm thinking that it's possible the queen never sees daylight.
Now back to my coffee. LoL

Oooh very interesting.... I do know they use scent trails to find their way as well as those Antennas to collect tactile information... Then there are those front feet.... Many ants just collect organic material and haul it down to their farms in the "basement" where they glue the organic material together and grow fungus on it. They eat the fungus, not the organic material. So that basement is their garden.

Yes the queen after her initial mating flight never sees the light of day for the rest of her life.... and that one mating flight is all she has to produce thousands and thousands of eggs.

When I was a new mom I found some teeny little ants in the babys bedroom... they were very tiny and red... I had never seen any like them. They were very slow too.... So I called an exterminator and after walking my city sized property, about a 60 by 50 foot lot, (18m x 15m), he said he had counted thirty different species of ants on the property... He rattled off the name of what was in the house... No matter they were gone by the time he was done.

First and only time I ever called an exterminator. Baby Dean was about a month I wasn't taking any chances.
