The Ants Go Marching

One of the predictable results of all the spring rains and flooding is the emergence of the ants. We have a lot of tiny ants both inside and outside our house. Ever since we saw the Disney Pixar movie “A Bug’s Life”, the boys have been interested in bugs, especially ants. They call to one another and point them out as if it were an extraordinary discovery. One problem with that movie was the memorable frightening presence of the villain wasps. While real wasps are to be respected and feared, the boys have extended that concern to all things flying including house flies. They haven’t yet learned the clichĂ© “not even a fly can hurt you”.
