Any idea what kind of ant would do this?
"2 days ago I had ants moving eggs into my mailbox. They were also
building a
white gossamer like nest much like that of a moth. I thought this was really
weird....never have seen this in my life.... Then I mentioned it to my
friend
and low and behold ants were doing the same in her mailbox some 2 miles
away."
