After we sent away for our Ants, they were mailed to us like this. In a test tube crawlin' all over each other. The number one rule we stuck with was - Do Not Touch The Ants-. They were big and red and scary looking.
We put them in this glass for a couple days because we did not get their home ready in time. (Apparently we needed to be ready when they came.) We followed the directions and David, Elijah, Ann, and Hannah made a "home sweet home" for them in no time and we had it out to dry and harden up that night so the Ants could move in the next day.
Those Ants are quite used to giant people heads glaring down at them daily. I wonder if they think we're God.
Ants exploring their home. They got to work right away. It is so neat to watch.

Neat! At what point will they have a queen, so you'll have more ants?
