Not really relevant to the thread,
but I put down some grass seed, both this year and last year,
and the entire crop was stolen by ants.
There were millions of ants, and each one carried away
one grass seed on its back.

Admittedly this was in Tuscany.

How bizarre! I've never heard of that before. Is your lawnmower still
there? ;-))
