Ha!! It's a different world at their scale.. maybe who smells the most is what works.

Thanks Mark, it's good to be back, it's been a while.. The funny thing about that photo, is it was the bull-ant that backed down and let the small one pass
Mark Ridgway
Hey DarrenC.. good to see you back! If only we could hear the conversation going on with these two. Not a lot else crawling around in the hills at the moment. I think it's down to that rotten dry spell we've been through.
