Did you know that in Southern Ecuador there is a strain of beetle that can sing any tune as long as it's in E major?!

Oh Yeah?!? Well that's a relief in a lot of ways. I was planning to mount an expedition something along the lines of Aguirre, the Wrath of God with me in the Klaus Kinski role.
Maybe there is a strain of Beatle that can sing any tune as long as it's in E major. Anyway I don't know what the hell E major is. Some sort of military term I expect |

'E major' is a musical term for a key that a piece is written in, but I suppose a major could be the leader of a group of such beetles. Maybe there are army ants out there that can sing, disturbing... |

Maybe these ants could appear at the next Edinburgh Tattoo. You'd have to take some binoculars though.

Facts About Ants
Quote:
The average life expectancy of an ant is 45-60 days. Over 10000 known species of ants exist in the world. An ant is able to lift about 20 times its own body weight. An ant has two stomachs, in one stomach it stores food for itself and in the other it stores food that is to be shared with other ants. And is not actually an ant
