Hello Ifdip,
ReplyDeleteNice pics.
I don't see any ants in this yar. Maybe they want to sleep in because they hit puberty? Or are afraid of the camera because they 've got a bad hair day? Or playing hide and seek and peek a boo?
.....I only see some sand. Brown and a little bit lifeless, tedious.
Could you please take another picture, with ants this time?
done!
Deletep.s: purple arrow
DeleteWith a lot of fantasy and help from my nearsightedness glasses I can spot an ant with a purple arrow stabbed in his back. Thank you! Now I'm looking forward to see ant nr 2.
Deleteare you expecting me to make another photo?
Deletep.s: it is not his, it her. every worker ant is female
DeleteYes, I looking forward to see a picture everyday of your ant farm. I didn't know that ants are female. So thank you for this information. I only see an ant... and this one is not working at all. I think he or she is on holiday....with a purple arrow stabbed in his back.
Deletedoes every worker ant has to be working all the time? you animal abuser! and I will publish pictures of my ants when I get a more professional ant farm! this is just a start
Deleteokay, just asking...no fuss.
