Can they be more specific - one quadrillion and three would be more believeable.

Ahh...but look at the date- 1983!!! ( only just noticed that!)..that's 26 years ago..imagine how many there are now!!!

I reckon there's at least three quarters of them in my garden

We have a couple of nests in our field- but then we have the lovely green woodpecker nipping in for breakfast , lunch and evening meal!!!

Imagine how long it would take to vacuum 1 quadrillion ants.

I wonder if they listen to music...
