The other day I had some Chinese for lunch at work.  Some Kung Pao Chicken, medium spicey, to be exact.  Why I am talking about Kung Pao Chicken when I have a photo of ants here for illustration?  Very good question.  I dropped a piece of zuchinni that was covered with Kung Pao Chicken sauce under my desk.  I picked up the zuchinni and threw it in the trash, wiped up the spill, finished my lunch and then looked down at the floor.  Yep, covered in ants.  Living under my desk apparently.  Must have missed a spot.

While my co-worker went downtown to buy some ant traps and ant spray, I got my camera out, laid down on the floor and took some photos.  Some not very good photos.  My “busy as a bee” title from my last post could have been aptly applied here as “busy as an ant”.  The lighting under the desk wasn’t optimal – I had the aperture wide open and the ISO pretty high, but I still couldn’t get a very fast shutter speed.  I suppose I could have used my flash, but I don’t like flash.  This does, however, give you a sense of how quickly they were cleaning up what was left of the sauce.
