Ant Wars

The Web is full of wonders and yet another is a site called AntBlog where experts stand ready to answer questions about denizens of these six-legged civilizations.

I noticed small, red ants clustering on the pavement in front of our porch and took the attached photo.

An inquiry I sent to AntBlog was promptly answered here: http://www.antweb.org/antblog/2013/06/territorial-battles.html

Turns out these ants are involved in colossal battles for territory.
