I love it when people share photos of their ant infestation with me. It always feels like they think I might know some prominent ant in that particular colony and be able to email them or something "listen, ya'll need to get out of Tony's BBQ, he's on the verge of firing it up without letting you move out first."

Like I'm responsible for all of the ants, and I'm their ambassador or something. I mean... it's a little true. But, the ants will do what they want. They will get into everything.

@futurebird I hope it's ok if I thank you for all of your posts. I have a pretty good working relationship with 99% of bugs. They chill, I chill, we all chill together. Ants freak me out though because of how much food they ruined when I was poor and hadn't yet learned to lock all carbs in iron boxes. I do not like having an "automatic" bad reaction to any creature, and reading your stories and information about them has gone a long way toward improving our relationship. Thank you :).
