            Zee and this ant are waiting for the trout lily to finish developing a seed, because attached to that seed will be a little snack. The ant will take the seed home, feed the snack to the baby ants, and throw the rest in the compost pile—a nice place for a new trout lily to grow. (Zee, who already has an ample supply of snacks, is just here for the show.)
More Adventures of Zee!
