BUT this little ant was discovered next to a termite mound.... and those mound builders are different from the house eaters (or so phil gall - who led us into the wilderness at 'the crossing'- told us...)..... still it would be foolish to assume that just because this fellow was next to the mound he was FROM the mound..... he might be the house eating termite species living next door to the nice guy.....<br /><br />priniciple 1 = observe and interact .....

This is all very interesting Ronnie, and I'm happy to keep reading until that Eureka! moment when I suddenly realise how you're going to combine the permaculture with book art.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01914350639398715648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786182111675568241.post-41337131997419466732010-10-11T09:19:17.932+11:002010-10-11T09:19:17.932+11:00Ooh, now we're talking!

I thought they were all spawn of Beelzebub, hence my horror when I found a tribe of them nesting under some plants that had mysteriously started to die back... Guess I'll have to go and have another look and try to find some information about the harmless ones so that I CAN identify them!

Sounds like an intense and amazing course. <br /><br />Sad to admit I thought ALL white ants were bad-guys - but then I do live in the land of the Queenslander and I wouldn't mind a penny for every Queenslander that's been nibbled by a white ant or three (including the one I once owned).<br />Enjoy your next week!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12135240564161689792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786182111675568241.post-76059381272446106692010-10-10T19:11:06.289+11:002010-10-10T19:11:06.289+11:00A bit hard for my eyes to identify the termite, bu...A bit hard for my eyes to identify the termite, but I'm guessing it's a "good guy" and not coptotermes. <br /><br />Strength to your arm, Ronnie!I hope your enthusiasm is infectious.dinahmowhttp://moreidlethoughts.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
