After the strong rains of this week, we discovered amazing structures in the desert built by ants overnight. It's a testimony to teamwork and persistence. I can see why my nephew has taken on the study of ants. I never thought much about them in Ohio other than something to be poisoned or stepped on. Out here I'm acquiring a new appreciation for the natural order of things that I used to consider pests.
Here's one with a outdoor toilet....
Somebody had more help last night
Looks like the pyramids of Egypt
The ATV tracks from the evening before don't bother them
Here's a duplex
This is the most interesting...a black and white family coexisting peacefully
These guys were still busy when I took their picture.
