[Video] Time lapse - whole gecko eaten by ants in just a few hours!

Unbelievable these tiny little devils. Whatever we forget on the kitchen table, these guys take it. Now we tried it with a dead gecko we found in garden and an observation camera. Looks like time is money for this little workers and Geico needs a new mascot to tell you how much money you can save with their insurance. With this spirit, we would get rich in no time. This is really crazy.
