harvester ants in action

We just got some harvester ants. we put them in our ant works container. this is what harvester ants look like in action.

you might not believe this but ants can carry up to four times their weight. did you know most of the colony is female. the queen only produces one to two males a year!

  1. That video is amazing! What is the blue stuff in your ant works container? Do the ants eat it?
