Bugs… aren’t really her thing. And to be honest, Yael hasn’t the foggiest idea of how to improve upon the plans that others have made. Disrupt their scent trail? Sure, sounds awesome. Fool around with water? Drown them? Excellent. Let’s find a way to make a bucket quickly. Burn them?! Even better! Toasted ants must be a tasty snack for spiders (unless they like them rare and kicking). What is unclear is how many they want - and where? In a trap, for them to pick off themselves? Already dead, so that the horses are essentially both butcher and cater waiter?
Water isn’t likely to work here - it will simply soak into the earth. So they must use other ways. By the smell of it, some got into cinnamon, others are trying to use sticky webs to trap them. It seems to Yael that what they really need is something to lure the ants into a trap, and then stick them there. Honey, maybe? It is spring, and there are flowers, and where there are flowers, there are bees. Except that is just a liiiiiiittle too much to take on. So no honey. But what else is sweet? Oh! Honeysuckle! It takes Yael awhile, but eventually, she is able to find a honeysuckle vine and yank a decent string of flowers off of it. When she returns, Yael carefully places them on the ground, and gingerly ‘crushes’ them, one by one.
That done, she, too, asks the spiders to coat a medium-sized stick with an entrapping web, so she can stand there, and pick up the tricksy little ants one by one, as they are lured in by the smell. She’ll let some get away, of course, to tell the others. But this meal shall be many’s last.
