Fire Ant Colony Casting with Molten Aluminum



An amazing sculpture is made by pouring molten aluminum into a fire ant colony. The resulting cast is huge, weighing 17.9 lbs.,  and reaching a depth of 18 inches.
   
You can't really appreciate this unless you lived around these things. Someone finally found something good to do with these rascals.
 
Very interesting: Wait until you see the end result!
