Pretty aren't they Ann....... they're not poisonous as such, but some of them can sure cause an irritating rash....

I love to spend time just watching some of the smaller beasties of Africa, and one of the best parts of having a youngster on safari is being able to spend time doing things like playing with a termite mound or watching and explaining what an ant lion trap is and how it works etc

......an ant lion is the little chap that makes those strange little volcano like holes in the sand you often see around camp.
