i woke up this morning, had a shower, walked out and towards the dressing table and almost jumped out of my skin when i saw a cockroach on the wall! Then i realised that there were ke-zillion ants all around it, all over it, carrying it up the wall. In just 10 minutes the mighty ants arrived at the ceiling and i watched how they maneuver their way from one adjacent wall to another... it was just amazing! You think you only watched such stuff in Discovery Channel! Welcome to my house, where chit chat rules, spiders crawl and of late different species of ants have made our house their favourite food haunt!!!
- Did You Know? (Facts about ants) :
- Ants can lift 20 times their body weight! (oh tell me about it!)
Average life expectancy of an any is 45-60 days - except for the breeding females they can live up to 10-20 years!
Ants has two stomach! (one hold foods for themselves and the other to hold food that they share / vomit out that is yucks!)
Ants are very neat and tidy too! Did you know that some worker ants are solely in charge of taking the rubbish out into special rubbish dumps!
Ants cannot digest leaves because they cannot digest cellulose! No wonder they keep coming into my house! I reckon perhaps i should just leave a whole packet of sugar in my garden tomorow! Out of Charlie's reach of course! :)
