Given the context is a zoo, I think that we can probably agree that whilst we hadn't seen this icon before, recognition and understanding is instant in the context for most adults and some children. A significant consideration is that ant text would only be understood by a minority, as it is a tourist attraction. The web is international, and that suggests that icons may have a valuable part to play in some contexts. regards Jonathan Chetwynd On 18 Mar 2007, at 10:41, Sean Hayes wrote: My wife said it means "hand biters about".
