Ants

Today, I made an ant farm. I got five ants and they were very hard to catch. I named them Limpy, Anty, Spot, Flick and Fred. We caught them in our front yard. We got some plastic Easter eggs and caught them in that. Then, we got a straw and put it in the hole of the ant farm where the ants are supposed to go in and dropped the ants in. They will live in this gel that is what they dig in and eat on. We would take a picture to put on the blog, but the ants have not made any tunnels yet.

Ant facts: An ant can lift twenty times their body weight! An ant has two stomachs - one for it's food and one for stored food to share with other bugs who come to visit.

Ant joke: How many ants can live in an apartment? Ten-ants.
