Hello and welcome back to the Kulius Kid podcast. Hello!

And welcome back to the Curious Kid podcast.

We've learned about lots of animals over the last five years.

My favorite of all our animal episodes might be our episode on Tartagrades that was released last year. If you haven't heard that episode yet,

do yourself a favor and give it a listen because Tartagrades are fascinating. As remarkable as

Tartagrades are, we can't see them with our naked eyes. The animal we're learning about this week

is tiny, but it is also just as incredible as the tardigrade. Many of us see

the animal nearly every day of our lives, but we may not appreciate how amazing it is. Are you wondering

which animal we're talking about? Let's find out. Mailbag!

Hello Olivia and Jacob.

We love listening to your podcast. We are on a summer camping road trip and recently visited Escalante Petrified Wood State Park in Utah.

We've also been observing tons of insects and toasting a lot of marshmallows along our journey.

We'd love to get curious about petrified wood, ants, and marshmallows.

Those are some fantastic episode topic suggestions.

We are so excited to learn all about ants for Owen and Autumn this week.

There are going to be lots of facts we learn in this episode that should make you go wow.

And one of those facts will be the answer to our question of the week.

The question of the week is, how many brain cells does an ant have?

Before we learn some crazy ant facts, let's learn a bit about the body of an ant.

If you heard our episode on bugs, some of this might be a bit familiar.

An ant's body is divided into three main parts that are called the head, the thorax, and the abdomen.
