Default Random question of the day!

Anyone into Myrmecology?

I feel it is time to admit I am and I find it fascinating.

What's that? The study of mermaids? Splash is probably my least favourite film.

Splash was disappointing, should have been a classic, has nudity and a car chase. But failed to deliver on both counts.

Ant related films generally don't contain the key elements of a "classic".

Back on topic. Used to have one of those ant farms until mum knocked it over and hovered up the contents. Would have been interesting if we'd had a Dyson back then.

Nope, I play too much Fallout (3 and New Vegas) for ants to be considered anything less than a threat

It is the study and observation of ants, I have a Interplay ant farm which is more for my kids but I am in the process of making a Formicarium from a breeze block, silicone and glass, costs less than £10 to make.

This is it after 1/2 hour or so of carving

I need to obviously carve out the chambers more and silicone glass on the fron the frame it. Hopefully end up with something similar to this only bigger.

I could spend hours watching the little ant trails they make from their nest and they carry such huge items back!! They're cool!

When I was young I tried to persuade my dad to let me have a woodlouse circus but it never happened, maybe one day!
