My ants arrived today. Despite my best efforts I was unable to inveigle Blades Biological into supplying me with a queen, or any leaf cutter ants. However I am the proud owner of 20 (approx) sandy coloured regular ants. They are happily exploring the ant farm I was given for my birthday. The gift incidentally was a reference to A Box of Matches by Nicholson Baker. In the book the hero's ant farm is reduced to a single surviving champion ant who outlives his colleagues by months.
