How many legs?

On NPR this morning there was a quick interview with Joe Peragine, the artist who installed the marching ants exhibit (known as Brute Neighbors) at Hartsfield-Jackson Airport.

In the GSU article,Every Day Art by Beth Flannigan, she notes the exhibit is "Just a few feet above the heads of bustling travelers, a swarm of 16-inch-long red ants marches silently over Delta Air Lines’ international baggage carousel at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport."

In the interview broadcast today, Joe said ants only had 6 legs but there is an ant figure at Hartsfield that has 5 legs! He laughed and said it would give travelers something to look for!

You'll notice the only GALILEO resource I was able to use was Encyclopedia Britannica for the ant picture. Using Google turned up the information based on the clues I had from listening while driving.

Finding information sometimes means using multiple resources.
