The "Soil Type" pyramid. Showing the different names for soils depending on their percentage mixture of clay, silt and sand. (The little ant likes this diagram a lot, though she has noticed a few problems with it and her version has many additions and corrections, most pertaining to the interaction of various soils with her favorite mosses and if they attract any little things that are nice to eat or not.)

2-hour long video of little ant explaining (in a tiny little ant voice) the advantages and disadvantages of different soil types when building tunnels in your nest.
"Ok. Everyone likes clay, but there are many kinds of clay. Some clay will attract mosses and little springtails which you can eat sometimes, but other clay gives better traction when it's raining. It can be hard to decide what's best for your nest!"
