(no subject)

Just watched a documentary "Besieged Fortress"  about termites and ants. The nomadic driver ants attack a colony of termites, which has been previously damaged by a tree branch and is further weakened by torrential rain. I was rooting for termites, and my son was rooting for ants. I will not tell you who won in the end, but the suspense is incredible, and the movie is very well done overall. The termite queen with her humongous belly looks like an alien creature, while the ant queen acts like a general, giving chemical "orders" to her subjects. An excellent movie.
