Like a child with her new toy, Erin spent the next week, eyes like saucers, studying her new pets and she was amazed with what she noticed.

When an ant dies its friends and family go into overdrive and begin organising its burial. The ants carefully stack their dead in neat piles. They then build underground cemeteries and neat compact burial mounds to honour their comrades.

With such sophistication me thinks it’s only a matter of time until ants are having their ashes packed into tiny diamond rings or launched into space.
