Give-aways and prizes are on offer for people who bring in the smallest or the yellowest ant they can find in their yard for identification (t-shirts, pens, USB sticks, stubby coolers, ant sculptures, and more)!
The ant should be killed with a knock-down spray (not squashed) and placed in a small clear plastic container. All ant collectors who register on the day will be automatically entered into our random prize draw to win great prizes!
