Abstract

HAVE YOU EVER WATCHED ants go about their business? You probably were fascinated by the way each ant goes tunneling through the sand, toting food here and there. I can remember many days spent in this ant-watching occupation. It seems that we could always find ants parading up and down the sidewalks. If not, a picnic would be enough to bring on the insects.
