Lasius niger digging

*EDIT*

Ooohh a DD! Thank you so much!

Thank you all for the suggestion, the feature, the comments, the favourites!

I have read the comments and a lot of them are asking what this photo is all about.

It is a photograph of common UK garden ants, Lasius niger, digging in an ant farm. Rather than sand, the ant farm is filled with a blue gel, which they tunnel in. They can also eat the gel, so it meets all their requirements.

They are digging into an art farm that is filled with this sort of edible gel. You can order it anywhere I think.
