Spin Movie and a Jumping Ant

Well, I was just about to post about this short film, which I found to be very entertaining...


but then this big, enormous, scarey ant crawled over the sofa!
Ant 1
yes. that is a real live ant. On a standard-sized playing card. On my sofa!!!!!

yipes!

There is a nest of these ants in our veggie patch, they are aggressive, mean, nasty ants that jump pretty high. They bite with their mandibles and then sting you with their bum. its awful! But this is the biggest one I've seen.

    yes I was stung by one at the Australian world gathering in 2000.
    It feels like a wasp sting- yes I was surprised how big they are- no, I had never seen a jumping ant before then...
    One of Australia's many marvelous creatures, I miss it.

    That ant looks as if it would chase you down the street!

    Thank goodness we only have little ants in England. But even their bites are annoying. That is one scary looking ant :-O
