Total Warfare: Insect StyleSo I got to have all sorts of fun today. [ note the sarcasm there] I get home from having dinner, and I have to feed the animals for the evening and I noticed in the shed there were these ants crawling around on the old cat food bags and didn't think much of it, the shed is outside, so as far as I was concerned so where the ants, and at the moment they were not really interfering with anything, so whatever, but I have a lizard who eats crickets and has to be fed on a daily basis so I keep crickets in the shed, and on the shelf near where the ants were was the box of cricket food, and I did not want them to get into that and eat all of that because it is a bit expensive to replace.
I take the box and go to set it down close to where my cricket habitat is, and I notice a bunch of ants over there as well, and as it turns out, the ants had all got into the container with the crickets and ants are militaristic and aggressive and pretty much committed cricket genocide. The whole container was filled with wants, so there really wasn't anything that could be done and it looked like most the crickets were already dead by then, so I just had to open the container and dump it all out and going to have get all new crickets now, and I hate having to kill any living thing but I don't have much of a choice now, because I can't just have the ants kill all my crickets every time I get new ones, and the shed is the only place to really keep them, so they have to be taken care of. I would have left them alone if they didn't go all Nazi on my crickets. 6:05 PM - 7/12/2009 - post comment
