Drowning in Ants

So, this is the third and final posting in 'the bug trilogy...'  This morning, I was mortified to see bits of 'stuff' floating around in our half-empty water cooler canister.  I quickly removed it and Tom took on the task of identifying the mystery contents.  Should be no surprise, but it was ants!  Clusters of them, clinging to each other for life - or should it be death?  It's a big deal in India to have your body sent floating down the Ganges when you're dead; maybe our water cooler is the ant equivalent of the Ganges.  Only cleaner.  And in my kitchen in Bangalore.  I'm hoping this possible suicide pact is the end of the ants for the time being.  Watch this space!
