PHOTO OF THE WEEK, Ants

This week's photo is more a question than a statement.

Walking across the lawn last week, I came upon this large group of ants with an obviously keen interest in this particular patch of grass.

Question is: What on Earth are they doing?

Maybe they were preparing to migrate. The colony may have gotten to large for the local food supply.

Looks to me like an ant war Jack. Using my magnifer I can see warriors fighting in the group, at least that's what it looks like to me. Ants will often fight over foraging grounds, sometimes of the same species even. HTH

Maybe some delicious fluid was spilt over the grass - fruit juice, maybe?
