Day 5 ~ July 16, 2011
by Jo Rebeka on 07/16/11
This morning, there is an almost sombre hush over the sugar ants hill. The small workers hasten to and fro in a dutiful fashion, but there is none of the mad melee of yesterday with gang violence in the air. Interestingly, the two large chunks of Z-99 which were here yesterday are gone. A few very tiny bits of frit cling to the periphery of their hill, ones they obviously could have gathered themselves.
Further down the sidewalk at "Ant-ioch" (more about my realization of their cities name tomorrow), the fire ants are busily gathering the fragile seeds of the elm trees and hustling them into the nest. Not a single eye turns toward the frit depot. Today my tiny pals are all business. I have my own errands to run, so I decide to give the ants the day off to regroup after the stressful events of yesterday.
More Ant-ics tomorrow!
