the anthill

Home, sweet anthill...

The anthill can be built tall, a metre and a half, perhaps two, with a fifteen metre-diameter. It is built with needles and other parts of plants.

...with cellar and stump

Paths and chambers are dug out deep in the ground, so the ant-hill is as large beneath ground as above. It is common that hills are built in conjunction to old stumps, that are gnawed through by the ants.
