If any of you live in the DC area, there is a movie playing at the Museum of Natural History in DC tomorrow (saturday, 24th). I am taking a friend of mine who knows nothing about ants, haha, so we'll see how it goes! I am psyched about it! Here is the info:
1:30pm Ants Nature's Secret Power (Special Jury Prize, Austria, 2005, 54 min.) With the help of special macro imaging technology, Dr. Bert Holldobler, a world authority on ants, brings us face-to-face with the mysterious world of these social insects. The incredible abilities of ants are tested on treadmills, in climatic chambers and in centrifuges revealing that many of these six-legged creatures have the strength of top-flight athletes and can support several times their own body weight and hang head-down from the ceiling. By Wolfgang Thaler and Adi Mayer Films for ORF Austrian Broadcasting with Docstar and WDR
