I just found a queen ant on my desk. She must have come in from outside, she's not from any of the ants that I already keep. Her plan was to live under my keyboard, but she's in a test tube now and will be a pet.
I have this bad feeling ants are passing around tips about "a place where you can go where this human will set you up"
@futurebird check your fence post and curb/driveway for tiny hobo sign.

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.

I totally believe that's the case.

@futurebird
They aren’t wrong. -
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.
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.

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?

You seem to be popular then

@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?

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

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