Well, the ants are marching one by one, hoorah, horrah! They finally arrived. Landon got an ant farm for Christmas from Grandma and Grandpa, except the ants weren't included. We had to send away for them in California. It was supposed to take 3-6 weeks. They said it would take longer depending on the weather. They couldn't send them if it was going to be cold. mmmmmm...... They arrived yesterday in the mail in a little tube. We carefully placed them in their habitat so none would sneak out into our home. 31 of them! They are now comfortable and settled and very busy building tunnels. It will be fun to observe them.
Speaking of ants, we have had big, black ants in the kitchen for about a week and a half. They just sort of appeared and were getting to be annoying. I got RAID and sprayed the floorboards. No more ants! woohoo. I do have a bug man who comes once a month. Got to manage the roaches! We'll have to have a little chat the next time he comes.
Really nasty. I'm sure Landon loves it. Do you have to feed the ants? What do little ants who fly across the country like to eat?
ReplyDeleteLandon says,"They'll eat the gel that is in the habitat. That is their food. They have made a lot of progress and are starting to colonize into the underground areas.
