eohartmanSo the Ant Project: Redemption was a total bust. The ants are stupid and it took them over a week to even start tunneling. And when they did, it was just ONE measly tunnel. That's IT. Last week, Dustin turned them upside down and tried to help them dig more tunnels but the stupid ants are just stupid and they aren't doing much, other than just being stupid.
I'm giving up on this round of ants, but I plan on getting more at some point and just having a giant Do-Over. Sorry for the let-down.
But in order to sort of make it up, I took pictures of Echo today with my awesome new camera. It takes some kickass closeups! Here's a refresher on who Echo is. He's my bat.
Ping trying to harass Echo.
Inside Echo's cage:
After I donned my latex gloves, HEPA filter mask, and turned the hepa air filter on high (damn mealworm allergies!), I was able to pick him up!
View from the top. He looks a little thin, but that's just because he's been in torpor on and off this winter.
How could you NOT love a face like this?
From the side. You can see his wing curled up and the thumb:
Eating a mealworm!
NOM NOM NOM
