Herodotus' gold-digging ants in India

[Allen W Thrasher]

I think John Irwin discussed this in :
 
The Sacred Anthill and the Cult of the Primordial Mound
John C. Irwin
History of Religions, Vol. 21, No. 4 (May, 1982), pp. 339-360

He may have mentioned it in other articles.  I'll check my offprint file at home.
