I am spread out on the grass, covered in baskets and ants, yet I am not a trap. What am I?
A picnic
This clever play on words uses the common insect name as a humorous double entendre. While ants might accidentally crash an outdoor meal, the blanket itself serves as a cozy venue for eating sandwiches under the sun. Once you visualize eating outdoors on a checkered cloth, the solution becomes clear.
