Buggy log



We discovered this awesome buggy log at Jefferson Memorial Forest. It was full of ants; and we weren't sure about the white bugs- baby ants or termites? It is clear that some of the ants were guarding babies (eggs). After some research, we are pretty sure that the wiggly white bugs are actually termites (Peter and Eldon were right!)

Did you know: termites have no waist!?
