An ant that doesn't move and isn't dead: that cannot be! What a very weird phenomenon!And what ants are they anyway?With their little red heads - would suggest they are hot-heads and presuppose even more action. As if they have been frozen in action, you say? Sudden frost spell? A new chemical? Intoxicated by a sugar rush then hit by a hypo? (feeding from that paving, but eating what?).
We must get to the bottom of this. Fascinating biological event. Otherwise a metaphor of Biblical proportions, especially now you have compared these formica to people....
