Ars-E MITE to Kadia, Kura and Dimia

"Dammo Bavathu Dammiko"

ART- MITE pronounced as Ars-E by the salesman in Ceylon.
The product is probably Chinese and it is not printed on the can of spray.


I was annoyed by a guy in TV with full European attire, suit with a tie, talking about graphite and granite or titanium.
I am afraid, he was a guy brought up by affluent parents and never touched soil or played with sand at the beach or Korn Pittu in the backyard.

These guys becoming professors is alien to me and in my full retirement and with no restriction by any institution of might, I should bring them down to earth.

I have done this to Carlo (not to ridicule him but to protect his image he carefully built over the ages, the freedom to think creatively and forcefully, who was surreptitiously used by guys wearing saffron cloths to utter nonsense).

Below is a brief description of ants which my (I do not blame her) wife tries to exterminate and me exploiting them, putting them to good use to clean up the rooftop garden.

We built our house on an anthill (there was no land left in the surroundings) where a giant cobra snake lived and its descendants come probably two miles away from a temple nearby to sunbathe and drink water annually.

I touched its trunk at the tail end inadvertently trying to reach the mail that come, not too often now.

He or she just slipped away meaning no harm to me.

The Dimias have vanished with felling of all the jack trees by followers of Ma Ra Regime.

I thought Kadias have gone leaving only Kuras.

Having sprayed ARS-e mite at places where mites were coming out with the rainy season giving them some soft soil and foothold.

Mind you, they have destroyed a few of my books (really my father in law’s) mainly Buddhist scriptures, I have never read.

My discovery of ARS-e Mite followed that and I donated all my Dhamma books to a friend who taught me ABC of Buddhism in right perspective.

So me loving ants is not related Buddhism but to the contribution they make to our ecological system and their Queen not the King lives over hundred years not like our Ra Jas who are living on artificial aids with distorted Pirith Cassettes played by misguided monks saying “Raja Bavathu Dammiko”.

I believe Buddha never uttered them.

It should be read as “Dhammo Bavathu Dammiko” (my rendering of Pali which was Buddha’s dialect in his time) which the Buddha predicted would wane over the next 5000 years.

We are actually in the midst of vanishing Dhamma and advancing political rhetoric of self acclaimed Ra Jas.

Ants are social insects that can be found in all terrestrial ecosystems. They are also very common in all human settlements, as well as in the forest floor.
Well over 6000 species of ants are found on investigation and are described in literature.
With new species to be discovered in future research.

Sri Lanka is home to 229 species of ants that are classified to 66 genera and 12 subfamilies.

There are 102 endemic species in Ceylon, with 49 degree of endemism. One endemic genus Aneuretus is also included to this list of classification.

The following a list according to the Ants of Sri Lanka by Prof. R.K. Sriyani Diaz's  (2014) ? Book or Literature not stated ? comprehensive edition by Biodiversity Secretariat of the Ministry of Environmental and Renewable Energy of Ceylon (little coordination with ants and energy unless ants produce biofuel on their death cycle).
