ANTS
Ants form colonies that range in size
from a few dozen predatory individuals living in small
natural cavities to highly organised colonies which may
occupy large territories and consist of millions of
individuals. These larger colonies consist mostly of
sterile wingless females forming castes of
"workers", "soldiers", or other
specialised groups. Nearly all ant colonies also have
some fertile males called "drones" and one or
more fertile females called "queens". The
colonies are sometimes described as superorganisms
because the ants appear to operate as a unified entity,
collectively working together to support the colony. Ants
have colonised almost every landmass on Earth except
Antarctica so if you are looking for the perfect picnic
location you may want to consider there. Otherwise, these
friendly fellows will gladly remove your left-overs...
even before they become left-overs. Our Hand Puppet Ants
are 12 inches long and if that's not big enough for you,

BLACK
WIDOW SPIDER (NP8227)
Black widows spiders notorious spiders
identified by the colored, hourglass-shaped mark on their
abdomens. Several species answer to the name, and they
are found in temperate regions around the world. This
spider's bite is much feared because its venom is
reported to be 15 times stronger than a rattlesnake's. In
humans, contrary to popular belief, most people who are
bitten suffer no serious damagelet alone death.
Fortunately, the spiders are nonaggressive and bite only
in self-defense, such as when someone accidentally sits
on them. Our Hand Puppet Black Widow doesn't bite anyone
at all. She is 11 inches long, 6 inches wide and her legs
range in length from 6 to 10 inches in length. Click
