Ant "engineers" use great skill in. constructing these mounds. In addition to the many living chamb- CI and tunnels above ground. they build more under the surface and liibernata in them in winter.

Many entrances dot the sides of the mound and lead into interior looms. Each entrance has a slight overhang which protects the pas-
