| Part 2: continued... |
| Next came the long and some what boring part, we each took turns picking out each individual ant, one by one, and dropping them into the arena (the arena is an area where the ants can come out of the nest, but cannot escape, it's like a fenced in yard with a door{the tube} going into the nest{see figure 9}). this part alone took about 5 hours (see figures 8, 9, and 10). |

| Figure 9: Ants in the arena, notice the ant carring the brood towards the tube entrance to the nest. Also notice the different caste mambers (worker majors with the large heads, and worker miners with the smaller heads) |
