Gah. We have several ant hills in our back yard. We've been trying to get rid of them for several years now. My elderly mother's method is to take a kettle of boiling water and pour it on the first signs of a hill. She feels sorry for the ants but it's no worse than putting out poison. And it works.
So cute ... have a happy day!

How odd not to see any ants working around the mound. Interesting series.
ReplyDeleteAre you trying to get rid of them? I would be, before they take over your yard.
ReplyDeleteI keep trying. I hate the red ants who climb up my arm and bite while I'm gardening.

ReplyDeleteThat looks like a big one to me.

ReplyDeleteThat is pretty big!
ReplyDeleteGoodness, their home that seems rather large.

ReplyDeleteAdobe Ant Condo...wow!!!
ReplyDeleteOur ants are lazy compared to yours...one mound, one entrance 🐜
That does look a fair size ant hill to me too!
