In the room down the hall there can sometimes be seen a large red ant crawling up the wall. He never seems to make it further than half way up the 10-foot facade before falling to the ground, but Ant, stoic, always tries again. With each attempt his behavior remains identical: scale the wall, or fearlessly die trying. He does not calculate the odds of success or what might happen should he ever arrive at the apogee of his struggle. Ant has but one directive, instinct, and he is wholly faithful to it. I did not know these things about my Formicidaean friend because each night upon seeing him, I would thoughtlessly grab a tissue and kill him before he'd even had a chance to fail. I think the reason for my ruthlessness was due to the fire ants which dwell in the yard. I had been desensitized to the plight of ant-kind, made cold and callous by the memory of the fire ants' painful, itching sting. It was in my senseless fear of pain that I was led to kill. Despite my transgressions, Ant, or should I say, one of his siblings whom I like to think carries forth his spirit, inevitably returns to the wall, each climber braver than the last, but each equally ill-equipped to tackle the traverse. Tonight, something awoke inside me. It was a bittersweet epiphany, a sadness, a recognition that we're all equal parts success and failure. I simply allowed Ant to exist, to coexist, and in doing so felt the precipitation of a great calm. There's no moral comment here, no dogma I'm hoping to disseminate. I'm simply a pragmatist trying to make his way up a 10-foot wall. |

You can usually follow their trail and caulk the crack they come in instead of spraying. |

we once set up a party tent right on top of the entrance of the home of a colony of fire ants by accident, and when we packed it up there were loads of them that crawled into the zipper bags where parts of the tent go in, and a few days after we got an angry call that they demanded and explanation for 5 of their coworkers being stung by fire ants a million of times upon recieving the tent we rent from them. Genuine lol tho. |
