Here is a buggy lil tale for ya. I bought a two foot Tiki in Hana last time I was in Maui. I got the buggah home safe and sound and put him on the shelf he was going to call home. A few hours later I noticed a stream of ants leading to the tiki. They seemed to be very excited about a bump on the tiki legs (ok, you jokers get your mind out of the gutters.) I thought it was just a knot or some imperfection in the wood. It was the same color of the wood and was pretty much indistinguishable. I couldn't figure what the ants were freakin' on. I poked at the bump with a nail and it totally popped and started oozin' out some wierd chocolatey looking crap. To this day I have no idea what that bump was It wasn't a sappy wood and I wasn't about to taste it or smell it. After I cleaned it up with some alcohol the ants bailed and the tiki hads been ant free ever since.
And that is my tiki-ant-mystery bump story.
