From far it looked like a broken fallen twig as well as a small snake across the path.
Closer, our human realised it was the ants ground tunnel and proceeded to casually step over it.
True enough, it only lasted a couple of weeks; the top portion of the whole tunnel was gone.
If only much thought was given how much effort these hardworking and industrious ants put in to build it.

Fascinating... natural engineering! We could learn, if we but allowed ourselves to be closer to the ground, eh? YAM xx
Building the right, and useful in the wrong place, at least so far as human traffic is concerned. I suspect though they will rebuild and carry on doing so in the way that ants do. Such wonders you see on your walks, somethings more vulnerable and transient than others.
Have a safe fun and interesting week!

Nature's vacuum cleaners are always busy and they do such good work. I try to be respectful of it.
Those ants are sure hard working engineers!
They are such industrious little creatures.
You are so kind. XO
How sad that they worked so hard, only to have their tunnel destroyed like that.
