WASHINGTON (AP) — Running a museum is no picnic, but the Smithsonian is attracting ants anyway.
A new exhibit, "Farmers, Warriors, Builders: The Hidden Life of Ants," opens Saturday at the National Museum of Natural History and continues through Oct. 10.
The display will include a live leaf-cutter ant colony from the lab of Ted Schultz, the museum's curator of ants.
And there will be a 6-foot-tall cast of an underground ant colony that was collected by Walter Tschinkel, who studies ant-nest architecture at Florida State University.
In addition, the museum will display 39 close-up photos of ant activities around the world.
