In the Amazon there are ants that Soar and Glide, when knocked out of their nesting canopy tree they point their abdomens towards the tree trunk and in a J-like curve they are able to glide back to the tree from which they fell. Some appear to enjoy the process more than others. For more information please click on this link: http://www.livescience.com/animals/050209_gliding_ants.html

Your zany little ants just keep getting more and more clever and appealing.
nice idea. I love the ants' expressions :)The yellow one is certainly one of those not enjoying it so much.
