If anyone wishes to speculate on whether ants jump or fall out of trees, do
so today, for I will have the answer tomorrow.  I created two gak bridges
from tape.  The ants found it within minutes and were crossing both
directions, over the gak.  So shortly the tree will be filled with ants, and
I will observe the gak pit, which is a sheet of white paper with a 20 cm
diameter ring of gak.  Any ant who falls onto the gak pit cannot escape, nor
can she be joined by an outsider, so she must have fallen from the tree.

Jump or fall?
