Remaining silent about the destruction of nature is an endorsement of that destruction.

Harvester ants are an important piece of the ecological puzzle in this part of the world.  They are the primary food for Horned Lizards (see yesterdays post) which in turn feed the Roadrunners.  I took this picture of a hard working ant that was taking a seed down to the depths of the mound to in order to feed their subterrainian fungus farms.  I'm amazed at just how hard it is to take a decent picture of little creatures like ants, it took me about 50 tries before I found one that I liked.
