Ant Colony

I went looking for insects with my magnifying glass. More interesting than people. I discovered the worst ant colony ever. Hundreds of them just lying around in hammocks and lounge chairs doing nothing. No carrying or building or storing. No work happening.
Where was the leadership? Bees have a queen. How about a supervisor here?
Most looked overweight and possibly stoned.
Suddenly a gang of warrior red ants attacked. The black ants were helpless.The red ants ate the hammocks. Carnage prevailed. Dead, fat ants everywhere.
I had to turn away. Butterflies are more my taste. Later, a dozen Praying Mantis showed up and offered prayers for the fallen. Nature does care.
