This week's photo is more a question than a statement.

Walking across the lawn last week, I came upon this large group of ants
with an obviously keen interest in this particular patch of grass.

Question is: What on Earth are they doing?

Maybe they were preparing to migrate. The colony may have gotten to large
for the local food supply.

Looks to me like an ant war Jack. Using my magnifer I can see warriors
fighting in the group, at least that's what it looks like to me. Ants
will often fight over foraging grounds, sometimes of the same species
even. HTH

Maybe some delicious fluid was spilt over the grass - fruit juice, maybe?

Do Ant colonies have a suicidal tendancy?
They appear to be fighting each other!
