Casting a Fire Ant Colony with Molten Aluminum (Cast #043)

The concrete one was better tho.....

I wonder how long it will be before some moron ends up in hospital after trying to do that to a live colony.  rubschin:

An ant colony can have multiple entrances sometimes anything up to 30-40 feet apart depending on how large it is. There wouldn't have been any real way for him to tell the size beforehand and fire ants can be vicious little bastards under normal circumstances, if they were defending their home it wouldn't have ended well for the guy with the molten aluminium.
