Ant Attack

Yesterday I was just about to leave for some rice-planting with the local office and a group of people interested in moving to the country, when I noticed my silk worms doing a crazy new dance. Closer inspection revealed that they were being attacked by ants! I was able to quarantine the "infected" bunch, and proceeded to pick the ants off one by one while the silk worms squirmed in apparent agony. I rescued most of them, but some had already given up the fight by the time I was able to pick the ants off.
