Any day when I visit the ant colony at the AMNH is a good day. It's like going to see an important visiting dignitary from the tropics. You can normally tell which chamber the queen is living in. That's where all the activity is. The colony has been in NYC long enough that she is the only ant who remembers what it was like to live underground or their home country. All of the workers have only know the museum.

It's a very healthy colony.

I always feel like it should have a name.
