ReplyDeleteLooks like an accident zone in insect land. And, yes, ants do pay respect.
ReplyDeleteI once has an exterminator visit to safely remove a hornets nest from my porch... no chemicals allowed. He told me that I should work in the field as I have no fear of insects." Perish the thought" I said, "I love all the little insects and their kooky ways." I know prospective buyers would not share my beliefs, though. Blessed be!
