Exciting action from “ants five points” today I offered the chestnut carpenter ants hunk of chicken, which they were very excited about this ant attempted acrobatics while carrying the heavy load: she climbed down a vertical surface and attempted to climb under a ledge to the location of their nest, but lost her balance nearly falling into a nest of pavement ants! (I may have helped her get clear) she scaled the wall again still carrying her prize and disappeared into her nest.
