IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

For this sumission, "wild" means unexplored world. 
The ants, when they go outside, don't show us their true 
lives because they want to deceive their adversairies. But,
when they go back home, they become very diciplined. We 
have here a view of one of the bases of a community of ants 
(and it is exactely the moment chosen by the queen to show 
herself). And several ants show their queen a piece of 
their loot (we can distinguish, on the hand-cart, a key of 
a computer keyboard!)
This world of ants is completely wild for the humans, and 
inexplored because very protected by armies of ants in the 
underground.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

Everything has been implemented with the text editor of 
povray for windows. 
A macro has been defined for the ants with several 
parameters such as angles of rotation of the head, and of 
the articulations, and of the feelers, ... and the colour.
