I'd call it "Ants Immortalized in Lead". lol I wonder how many ants are in that casting.

I have heard of that before, it sounds pretty cool (just not for the ants tough lol) , I love the finished product.

None, they were the smoke comming out during the pouring. LOL Frank

Gee, I haven't seen a horney toad in many years. Use to see 'em almost daily in central Texas.

Well, He was originally from the Stanton AZ area and spent a few years at my place in MD. Buried himself every night. He only ate the fire ants. He would stay perfectly still until one walked in front of him, it just appeared to vanish. I had to order the ants by mail and put them in his aquarium. I spent many hours watching him.
Now the Horney Toads around Flagstaff only eat soft body crickets. I could pick them up locally at the pet store for another toad.

My son always has pets. Right now there are 3 dogs, and 5 fish in two aquariums at home. Frank Here's his home town
