Ants

Have you ever noticed the little tiny ants that swarm to the surface of the earth like fishes coming up from the depths of the sea. They come up in one location; then in another and another, as if it really doesn’t matter to them where they come up. Unless the earth is everywhere just underneath the surface, teaming with these little brown creatures, they must be able to move through the earth almost as easily as fish move through water.

And why do they come up to the surface? To fill their livers with vitamin D (do ants have livers?) To get fresh air? They don’t seem to eat any of the plants so it can’t be to get fresh vegetation. Until someone enlightens me on this subject, it will remain a mystery to me.
