poliphilo You pull a weed almost anywhere on this property and you cause ants- tiny ants- to go running about in all directions.
It looks like panic. It looks like they haven't a clue what to do.
But ants always look like they're running around like little clockwork toys. I watch them sometimes. A single ant will go so far in a particular direction, then turn, retrace its steps, covering a distance at a speed that would exhaust a human being, and never seem to do anything that looks like work or the solution to a problem.
But ants are so well organised, create such complex societies and such enormous cities, that they can't really be milling about aimlessly. It must just be that we don't understand.....
