@futurebird If I were them I'd be worried about that "ant pinning" label. 🤔

@futurebird@sauropods.win Is the Ant Show like Crufts, but for ants? Will there be an agility course?

The ants have made it back home safe and sound!

I love doing the ant assembly every year. Always a little stressful to get everything ready but the little kids are so excited to learn about ants and ask amazing questions:

"Can a solider become a queen?"
"How do the ants talk to each other?"
"How many ants do you have? Do you give them all names?"

The faculty enjoyed the fact that my husband has made be get a second fridge to store the ants in the winter. What we do for love...

@futurebird "Do you give them all names?"
I'm going with a solid yes as my guess.

[hi_cial@donphan.social]

@futurebird how many ants DO you have! and do you name queens??

[futurebird@sauropods.win]

@hi_cial

I have about 1000 ants and I do name the queens sometimes.
