The ants have been busy lately in our dog walk area. For some reason, sand beneath the surface is a different color, making the hills particularly conspicuous. I find it interesting how many of them have appeared.
I don’t think they’re always there. Do they appear and disappear, like the several kinds of frogs, from one day to the next?
We also spotted a little snake, ~ 25 cm long, that all six dogs (happily) didn’t notice. From a clump of grass, it zipped between my legs to the safety of a nearby hole. No photo. Happened in seconds.
So how many ant species are there in Uruguay? I’m not counting.
