I brought her a bit of hamburger and she loved it. Took it home with great haste!

Exciting action from “ants five points” today I offered the chestnut carpenter ants hunk of chicken. This ant attempted acrobatics while carrying the heavy load: she climbed down a vertical surface and attempted to climb under a ledge to the location of their nest, but lost her balance nearly falling into a nest of pavement ants! (I may have helped her) she scaled the wall again still carrying her prize and disappeared into her nest.
9 species of ants in this one small area. #antsFivePoints
Some action from the park after the rain.
1. Graffiti
2. [Reconsidering this ID]
3. Tetramorium immigrans (Tramp Pavement Ant. These ants are always having massive ant wars for some reason.)
4. Laius emargenatus (ManhatANT a new ant for NYC that everyone is talking about.)

Since they were mowing the park all day I was nervous to find out if #antsFivePoints would be spared. Well the signs worked!
Since the hill is the only part of the park that still has tall grass it was full of birds feasting on all the bugs chased there— This is a great start. I will try to plant some good local flowers in fall.
