Ants, Day Three

After the first night, we were startled to see that the ants had made a lot of progress, building a tunnel from one entrance to another and burying their one dead guy with the excavated sand. Here we are at Day Three, and they continue to build.

We are going to soon have to face the reality of maintenance: watering the cotton balls, getting out the bit of apple they haven't consumed, and removing the dead ant.

So far, though, I'm thrilled with how interesting the ant habitat is. I'll continue to post pictures as the ants continue to build.
