Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores it's provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. Proverbs 6: 6-8

I am here now, does this already count?

It is the 4th here in Germany. Of course, it is no holiday for us. 

Sadly, I have a full time job, so I hope this counts, not sure I make it again tonight.

The problem is that online forums are becoming an outdated form of communication. Ant keeping as a hobby also isn't exploding in popularity... quite the opposite, in fact.

that's kinda good cuz then the alates will be able to sucessfuly found colonies and not be completely picked off in some spots.

it is kind of unfortunate that the hobby is shrinking though
