Hormiga

aka: Ant. To be specific, this is a carpenter ant. They are like termites, eating wood and houses. We have had our first hatch of them for 2009. Everywhere. I stomp on them, smash them and generally hate them. However, in taking close-ups with the macro lens.........

I see they are kind of cute! Just like in the movie Ants.

No, I probably will not start collecting and studying ants as another hobby. But they seem to be pretty amazing creatures! Just look at those legs!

And they discovered something very interesting: when it comes to walking, most of the ant's thinking and decision-making is not in its brain at all. It's distributed. It's in its legs. ~Kevin Kelly
