Somehow, today, I found an ant escaped from the ant farm.  Now, how this happened is a mystery.  All exits from the basin are sealed.  Little buggers, will a have to watch them carefully.  The expansion is continueing, there are now 2 distinct chambers, with four seperate connecting tunnels.

Ive also been waiting for the Ant nuptial flights, but as far as I can tell, this has still not happened yet.  I have Antworld sitting there just waiting for a queen to move in.  But its just not happening yet.  Bloody british weather.  I must say, I cannot remember a summer as poor as this before.  2 months of nearly solid rain, jeez.  Bring on the sunshine.
