Our newest family members...

There are 25 of them...and if you can't tell (because it's a close up) they are ants. Yes, ANTS. 25 ANTS. Bryan found an ant farm on clearance...and just HAD to buy it. Apparently our life was not complete without 25 Harvester ants. This is some space age kit, so the have this gel they tunnel in, which also provides their food. We have had them about 24 hrs, and supposedly they don't even start tunneling for the first 24-48 hrs, but I guess we have a good batch. They were tunneling a couple hrs after arriving. They are, admittedly, pretty cool to watch. And, thankfully, they are not spiders, so I guess they can stay. For now.
