They are truly resilient, and it is really miraculous to consider.

There were clear tunnels all over in the walls and ceilings where we could watch them crawl. I wish I could remember where that was because it was really fascinating to watch them.<br /><br />I remember getting bitten once by a big red ant when I was a kid and it really hurt.
