Foolish Humans!
Your ineffectual insecticides are no match for our hymenopteran colonists. Soon the Earth will be ours!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

'Go to the ant, thou sluggard;
Consider her ways, and be wise.'
Well, I've been to the ant, and I'm buggered
If I think it's one up on us guys;
All that rushing about is damn silly,
(And uneconomic, I bet).
I'd rather consider the lily,
It's got Solomon beat -- and no sweat.

A supercolony of ants has been discovered stretching thousands of miles from the Italian Riviera along the coastline to northwest Spain.

The ant has made himself illustrious
Through constant industry industrious,
So what?
Would you be calm and placid
If you were full of formic acid?---Ogden Nash

Ah, Ogden Nash. One of my favorites:

A strange bird the Pelican
It's beak can hold more than it's bellycan.
It can hold in it's beak enough food for a week,
and I don't know how inthehellitcan.
