@futurebird Though, I've never seen ants get seated. Wouldn't it simply be a matter of having accessible space near enough to the action that it can be perceived?
Human architecture tends to think in populating smooth, flat spaces with furniture.
Would ants ever even arrive at flat spaces?
They'd probably sneak in some mud to get a little closer to the stage, every time, until the space is full of random protrusions, wobbling closer to the stage.
