      The beetle's parents are disappointed though. "He's a good lad" they said, "just fell into some bad company"

Then after a while I realised, there were TWO types of ants (slightly different colour) and there was some sort of epic war going on between them, tumbling about fighting etc. I'd never have noticed if I hadn't went down to ground level and tried to take the pictures!
