Ant fortress
<p>The harvester ants from the <em>Formicidae</em> family have one of the most intricate nest architectures in the forest. The maze-like walls of their nests prevent rainwater from entering their sanctum beneath the soil. Underground, they store a secret stash of husked grass seeds (to prevent germination), on which they feast through the lean months.</p>
