On one of my trips this past summer, I remember why I took a photo of this... I watched this ant struggle to carry a larva - for about 45 mins, before helping it.

Hey Fenixsmon, "I call it the great centepede exodus".
That picture reminds me of this one time when I was a kid. I was helping my dad cut down a large branch from the Weeping Willow in our back yard. The Branch was dead and needed to be removed, as one day it would probably fall unexpectedly anyway. The base of the branch was large, about the size of a truck tire and had a big section of bark starting to slough off a few feet above the start of it. As my dad was about to begin sawing on the branch he reached up and pulled that section of bark down. And with it came the largest, most disgusting pile of Earwigs I have ever seen. Unbeknowenced to us that branch was hollow and was packed full of Earwigs. The bark was acting like a lid and when he removed it they came right out that hollow branch and made a mound at least two feet high at the base of the tree. They would have completely filled a 5 gal bucket and then buried it underneath the pile. I have never seen such a sight nor have I heard of them gathering in such numbers again. I wish there would have been digital cameras in those days to capture this moment as it was very unique. We ended up putting gas on the pile and burning them and the log that continued to rain Earwigs for a long time. I still hate Earwigs to this day. They are one of the few creatures I will kill indiscriminately....... Oh that reminds me of another Earwig story.... It happened sometime around the mid 80's, I was in Germany and it was late summer. I was up in a Plum Tree picking some ripe Plums. Man they tasted great, real sweet to. They were so ripe they would fall on the ground every time you moved the tree. Well I was up in the tops of the tree trying to reach the ones up way high. I had a hand full and put them in my bag. As I released the handful I saw a leaf stuck to my thumb. At the same time I became aware of a slight amount of well, not really pain, but an odd feeling none the less on my thumb. For a moment I just looked at my thumb and the leaf that seemed to cause such a weird feeling. Then as I turned my hand around to try to figure this out I seen an Earwig had stuck its pinchers though the leaf and then clamped down on the end of my thumb. Ok, Ok, I'll stop with the stories. Goodnight, Woody. -------------------- Proud CP Lifetime Member
