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 Can I show you these Pheidoles that I befriended by accidentally dropping crumbs of cheese?

Not an infestation, just wanted to share :D

@akoshibe @futurebird My spouse: "You may fascinate a woman with a piece of cheese!"

I like how distinct the majors are from the workers!

@neia @akoshibe

their little eyes and antennae (same size as on their smaller sisters) crack me up.
