What a wondrous creation involving an amazing amount of work that we totally f*cked up for the ants.

Once they removed the concrete structure from the original colony, they recreated the original colony using wax and plaster. The ants were lured back and have successfully resumed their work.

They lured all the ants away to a new, better colony location using a mixture of watermelon, honey and chocolate syrup. They actually counted and weighed every ant from the original colony to assure themselves and PETA that all of the ants made the transition to the new colony safely. They lost less than one-half of one percent of the ants in the process - an amazing feat in of itself, I think.

I find it hard to think that everyone here feeling bad for all those ants are vegetarians- and if you are not vegetarian, you're just being a hypocrite :(For those of you who truly value life (as I do, and do not eat meat because of the cruel conditions for animals in factory farms) you must realize that yes, these ants died. But more people are fascinated because of this and a higher level of respect for ants over all has been achieved.

It's commonly used to knock out insects, such as the model organism Drosophila (fruit fly). After a few minutes, the insects reanimate and return to normal. Carbon monoxide is toxic to humans. Too much carbon dioxide will make animals pass out because they do not receive enough oxygen. A lack of oxygen leads to brain damage. You don't have to worry about brain damage with ants.
