The day after my ant presentation students and teachers kept coming up to me and saying how much they liked it. One teacher even asked her if I could show her how to get started keeping ants. She has a pet spider and is now curious about what it's like to have a colony!

I'm so happy!

Loves to be talked to.
Can't understand words.
Absurdly warm and soft at all times just to burn up cat food.
Desperate and clingy. But also disdainful and superior.
Small but impossibly heavy to pick up. Can pin a grown man to the couch for literal days. But still a "baby"

Imperial ruler, scared of the hallway.

Eats small insects like its a normal thing to do.

Wants so very badly: the world must know. But what is it she wants? She doesn't know.

Cats are so deeply intractably weird.

Intellectually I knew that Dorymyrmex bureni could dig nests 1 to 2 meters deep into the earth. A long slender vertical tunnel. (This would be like you going out in your yard and digging a tunnel just big enough for your body... a mile deep. And doing it so expertly there are no cave ins)

But seeing them really do it? Being able to watch the progress as they go deeper?

I'm so proud of them!
