One of these Lasius emarginatus works was stepped on by someone as she tried to cross the sidewalk. She is mortally wounded but not yet dead. A cluster of her sisters have gathered to see if anything can be done. After trying to rouse and move her they gave up and moved on. The sidewalks are dangerous and most ants use the cracks as little highways.
All this silent drama is going on even as the important fast walking New Yorkers keep stomping by.
