Swimming Ants

Post by Antkit » Thu Mar 10, 2016 10:30 pm

I got my first good size Atta colony from Andrew. Boy can they swim when they hit the water. Acros just sit on the stop, wriggle and just drown if you dont save them, but Attas start swimming to gain their 5, 10 and 25 meter swimming badges.

Those are going to have to be some very small badges if you are going to sew them on to their swimming towels.

Maybe you could pin them to their bikini tops.
