An ant bubble with thousands of narrow-headed ants was stolen in England. This species is one of the rarest in the country. Unidentified people dug up and swept away an anthill from Chudley Knighton Heath Nature Reserve in Devon. Up to 5,000 insects can live there, as well as one or more queens. During a routine inspection, ecologists noticed a hole and "obvious traces of digging with a shovel" at the site of a nest of common thin-headed ants. The theft was reported to the police. Deliberate violation of the boundaries of a nature reserve or taking its resources is considered an offense against the law. Narrow-headed ants are so called because of the "pointed" shape of their heads. The species used to be common in the moorlands of southern England, but its numbers have declined over the last 100 years due to the destruction of its natural habitat. The species is now endangered. The world is burning, and we are in Zen.
