Some great cartoons on here. I enjoyed this. Thanks Meanderer. As a little kid, I used to bomb ants on the pavement, by dropping a pink "Spaldeen" ball on them. Then I scared myself, thinking they're going to find me some night and get revenge.
As I got older, I became seriously interested in ants, and ant behavior. Not completely like us, but some similarities. They feed each other so that everyone in the colony are identifiable as one of "us". They follow each others scent trails, and you can get a whole colony to walk around in a circle, going nowhere until they drop. Yeah. Those Fire ants are supposed to be murder. Thankfully they have not spread far enough North to get me.
