Two ants get stuck and the others work hard to free them! Shocked

...and if they can't be freed and die, they eat them Laughing

Ants are quite amazing. We underestimate their abilities greatly.

They eat each other? Maybe it's an act of respect.

Well I know meat ants are cannibalistic. I guess that is nature's way isn't it? Conserving energy through recycling. Food is food and ants are scavengers.

Yeah I suppose. All the same, when we 'have someone for dinner' it isn't the same thing. Wink
