0 Guest Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 For the first line were you thinking... Fleas? "Ant circus" usually refers to documentaries or devices meant to show the normal workings of ants. Flea circuses (both true ones back in the day, and mechanical ones now) are a much more common insect performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
Guest
Some of us perform in circus shows
How deep we dig, it's hard to know
If you need a house, give us a call
For some of us are builders, after all
Our army numbers in the billions
We swarm our enemies, even children
We have bullets but no guns
We breathe fire like the sun
Not strictly scavengers, we can farm, if you please
Growing crops using leaves
So now you know some about what we do
Who can tell me what we are? Can you?
