The coolest part is that they took the dry bags away. Usually they're made of silicon or plastic so I don't think they suppose it was edible stuff... "Yahoo! No more damp nights in the nest!".  :lol:

Stoppingdown, is the link legit? My antivirus went crazy after I clicked on it.

I have Avast on my Mac, and it doesn't complain... Furthermore AFAIK, ShutterBug is a reputable web site. I wonder whether PZ has an embedded link validator...

There are just so many ants here I take extra care not to put cameras/lenses on the ground for rear of them getting inside my gear and clogging up mirrors and motors and the like.
