Proverbs 6:6-8

Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.

I think you can get them at pet stores. They sell them for reptiles. if all else fails, you can certainly buy online.
