Do ants sleep?

A question I often ponder, given my excellent view from the toilet of a swarm that refuses to eat the ant poison.

Thanks to the miracle that is the Google, I now know the answer.

UPDATE:
The world's biggest ant colony was discovered in 2002. This supercolony has billions of ants living in millions of nests. It stretches 3,600 miles, all the way from Italy to northwest Spain.

Yikes

Apparently, Australia is not immune to the very worst of American cultural mistakes.

Slugs at the trough


It turns out that slugs really do like beer. I don't know what it does to them, but at least they gather around the beer dish rather than hanging out in the middle of the floor where I am likely to step on them and have them squish between my toes.
