I apologize for what’s about to happen

“Look ant bro, I’m sorry, but these are the rules. You step into the water pit, there’s a good chance you are getting banished to the wet tunnels. It’s just the way it is”

Once a year or so in my house there’s a mass hatching of daddy long legs and several adolescent ones per day learn the lesson

There where no signs

My poor ants had a very different experience this week. I didn’t find them in the sink…

I sat down on the (what I thought) was freshly cleaned toilet from the day before, look down as I’m sitting, and covering the bottom portion was a veritable writhing mass of ants. I would swear to it looking like they were recreating that scene from fantasia (or maybe another animation? idk) where the mops were circling a winding staircase around a cone, like worshipers with torches marching up and around a hill to reach the top.

I’m sorry to say, I couldn’t bring myself to treat them like spiders should be, and they got the insect spray.

That doesn’t kill them.
