Wanted: Ants from Around the Country

Written by Pat's Papers | Friday, 27 July 2012 8:38 AM

Dream of being a scientist? All you need is “an index card, a plastic bag, money for cookies (preferably Keebler Pecan Sandies) and shipping” says the Chicago Tribune. The North Carolina-based School of Ants project is asking ordinary citizens to help them understand how insects move from place to place by crawling around and capturing critters from major metropolitan areas around the country. The plan is to create a map of the nation’s ants. Deadline to submit your ants is Wednesday.
