A recording of a thatching ant mound on Hornby Island, British Columbia, Canada. It was made with a homemade stereo contact microphone created with scavenged parts found at the Hornby Island Free Store. Two piezoelectric mic elements were attached to a single strip of cedar and set down on top of the ant mound. The ants swarmed it, producing this interesting sound. See www.mrogalsky.net for more antwork.
