OK, so it is not high, but allow me to fantasy.
Watch anyway, I have a tiny Termite Mound on my outback property during the past year or so.The bronze is a few inches above the ground and much ever happens with it-or so it seemed.
Curiosity has been better for me the other day and I scraped off the top layer of material off with a stick and found things was actually busy inside-pests everywhere. the thin layer of material covering the nest was quite hard, almost like a shell and I really think not much why.
Some pests rushed to restore pair "damage I had done, on the corner of my eye I discovered movement and looked to see a horde of Ants.
I had unwittingly become an accessory to a termite massacre.
Apart from some protection from the elements, it shows the thin coatings also protect pests from ants-they could not seem to burrow through the how ants knew I had infringed defence, I do not know, maybe there were some olfactory signal.
It does not sound like much of a discovery or revelation, but it is these little things I learn constantly up my marvel at nature and reminds us of how important it is to tread lightly in the sand.
While the pests are the cutest and most cuddly creatures, they are fascinating.There are in fact much creatures we ignore or crush under our heels with hardly a thought which has the fascinating life with a purpose.
When we go out in parks and forests, we are looking for wild animals-but the fact is also our main city backyards world of wild animals and plants we know so little about.
Often our brushes with these smaller critters is not always positive-a fly-outs around the House, the Ants in the kitchen, a spider spooky hecka out by us or vermin chewed on the frame.
