I loved it when there were ant colonies in my corridor garden.I
would feed it small pieces of meat.And then the whole family would
come out to savour the delicacy...I knew the big head ants were the
soldiers,the long abdomen ants were the queens.The small head,small
abdomen ones are the female workers.
When the whole family was having a feast,I would catch an earthworm
or a grasshopper and then throw it over the ants.You know what
happened next.
I was into praying mantises too.I simply love the ultimate predator
of the insect world.I remember keeping a mantis.I fed him live
grasshoppers.Sometimes when I could not find any hoppers,I fed him
raw meat.
Oh my,Mother Nature is such a wonderful thing...and I always looked
forward to watching David Attenborough's The Living Planet in
1985.
