Heading Underground

After I put the ants into the ant farm, they took up residence under a plastic bottle cap that I placed inside to hold food. I changed the bottle cap when I switched out the food last night and the ants started to scurry about frantically, carrying the eggs with them.

This morning, it seems that they've all headed underground and have resettled in a cavity they had previously dug. The cavity is a bit bigger now and all the eggs seem to have been moved to this spot. When they were under the bottle cap, I couldn't see what they were doing. Now I have a very clear view of their activities.

I gave the ants a bit of durian last night. Saw one ant feeding on it last night but none were as of this morning.
