Lately i find that species of ants like ectatomma tuberculatum and leafcutter ants are much rarer to find, I'm getting sick and tired of ignorant people burning trash and cutting trees down and preventing me from going anting, it makes me sick and i wish insects came back because i haven't seen an adult black witch moth in 2 yeats

I'm sure there are a ton of other species in the area, considering you probably live a lot closer to the equator than I do. If I were you I'd scout for interesting places close by to try finding stuff. Welcome back, by the way. If you're still keeping ants, I hope you've learned how to better care for them.

What did he do to become a legend?

 

Did he fight off the AC kid fanbase before they could take over formiculture!?!?
