I wonder if they might start nesting in unexpected/undesirable places, like under a piece of furniture in the outworld, for example.

My Journals:

Pogonomyrmex subdentatus

Camponotus Vicinus

Camponotus sansabeanus

This suddenly reminds me of those little "Polly Pocket" houses/kits you see with young girls.

That would make an interesting foraging area....

I'm going to build a Star Wars Themed outworld. Put in some Storm Troopers fighting Rebels with Luke Skywalker on some remote Jungle Planet. Imagine a column of Camponotus crawling over a dead Storm Trooper! I'll post something about wen I'm done.

Ha, I totally told Drew and Terry that I wanted to do this some time. It'd probably be especially nice for the kind of ants that like urban environments and home invading anyhow.
