    Last year a queen ant landed on me when I was waiting for the bus on Park Ave.

    I still have her. Lovely colony.

    @futurebird in your place I'd start looking for supernatural explanations but I am ridiculously lenient towards superstitions

      @futurebird do you have special ant attraction powers?

        I've been searching my apartment, since if you find one queen ant there are often more. But, I can't find any more random ants, so this one queen just ... flew up to the 6th floor, came in over the AC and set up on my desk.

        I am willing to admit I may find more ants than most people since I notice them more. However I still think this is a bit wild.

          @futurebird That's cool as hell! I'm going to look at some pictures because, right now, I'm not even sure I'd recognize a queen ant as anything other than a bug.

                  @futurebird the question is, how are they getting the word out about you? Have you inspected your windowsills for tiny semaphore towers lately?

                    This is possible, however she isn't that kind of species. Just a girl on her own trying to make it in the big city.

                    Made me think of this.
                    I picture the ant queen tossing her wings in the air.

                      It's also possible she was attracted to my large healthy captive colonies. I wonder if queens look for that.

                      I found her wings! She flew in the window and broke them off.

                      @futurebird a little Red Bull will fix her right up!
