Random Sand Fact
In Malaysia, ants build with sand and silk.
A large share of the sand we use goes into construction, not least in concrete. But humans are not the only ones building with sand.
In Malaysia, a species of weaver ant uses its own larvae as tiny silk spinners. A worker holds a larva in its jaws and moves it back and forth while the larva releases silk.
