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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGJ2jMZ-gaI See some detailed pictures of the resulting display at http://www.anthillart.com/castings/043/
