BLACK HARVESTER 



Outside of a Jaw. 

 Basket-like Inside of Jaw Teeth worn off. 



FLORENCE. Why are your jaws hollowed out like a 

 scoop? 



ANT. So I can use them as baskets in carrying out dirt 

 when it is not damp enough to make into balls. 



FLORENCE. I'd think you would smash your eggs and 

 babies carrying them in your stout jaws. 



ANT. I can carry a bunch of babies as safely as you can 

 carry one baby or as gently as a cat carries a kitten. 



KENNETH. It's queer how the jaws will get set and 

 hold onto an enemy, even after the ant's head is cut off. 

 I have seen ants at work with a "dead head" hanging to a 

 leg. I pried one loose for an ant. 



Ant working with "dead-head" clasped 011 leg.
