About This Item

Ant Anthony

Life as a worker ant was rough. All summer long Ant Anthony would find food, take care of eggs and build tunnels. He dreamed of leaving the colony behind and traveling across the United States. But how could such a small insect accomplish such a huge goal? The other ants would laugh at Anthony and tease him, telling him that his antennae were screwed on backwards. Fortunately, Anthony Ant was never one to let other people "bug" him and bring him down. So, when he heard a rumor that a new cache had been hidden nearby, he knew he had the perfect opportunity to make his move. Through his underground connections, he obtained a TB tag and planned his escape.

He crawled out of the ground early this spring before his other brothers and sisters awoke. With fork and knife in hand, he quickly jumped inside the nearby cache in hopes of finding the perfect place to picnic.

Please help him move along to other caches where he might be able to find a nice picnic spot to enjoy some food with some new friends. He'd love for you to take pictures of your picnic adventures with him as a keepsake. He plans to return someday to his mound and show his colony his great accomplishment!

Ant Anthony outran the angry ant troops when they found he had escaped. He joined a group of TBs returning from a long weekend in Mt. Clemens. He was shocked to find that the Hawaii cruise he had heard so much about has been canceled! Apparently the ship broke! Thanks to our wonderful travel agent, we managed to squeeze ourselves and the Hawaii Five-0 + 12 TB Tour on the Apr. 6th cruise. Ant Anthony didn't mind having to wait a few more days. When you're an ant, nothing happens fast. Atleast he's safe from the angry ants he left behind!
