The ants marching along the side of this month's background are actually flipped completely around (both vertically and horizontally) from the original photo, so they are attempting to move their booty up the wall towards the bottom of the screen, if you follow me. One can only imagine the giddiness those ants were feeling as they carefully worked their way up that wall, anticipating the hero's welcome they would receive upon returning such a hefty chunk o food to the nest.

We shall stop the story there in order to preserve their happy ending.
