    When I lived in South America, the Amerindian villages I was working with were plagued by leaf cutting ants.

    One day I saw the results of their action, every tree was stripped of leaves - all but one!
    The one tree was located above the ants nest, and it was left untouched to provide shade - isn’t that brilliant?

    Dumb humans destroy their environment!!!!

    I agree - we can be pretty dumb, and the ingenuity of the humble ant is amazing!

    Thanks for dropping by!
