Why do the ants in my friend's house always swarm the stretchy rubber gecko his son has?

Asked by sunyata_rakshasa (350points) August 6th, 2011

My friend’s son has this toy gecko, you know the stretch rubber kind you get out of quarter machines at the mall. And the ants are always swarming it. I wanna know if their are mistaking it for a real geko, or if the texture or something is making them mistake if for food. Any one have some insight??
