love it
That was insanely cute. I kept having “biologist” moments though, viz. expecting the first forager to stop and take a lot of time licking the lollipop before recruiting. Those were funny little species-agalgam ants too!
(It would be fun if ants really made that pitterpat when they ran!)
Look at the antennal insertions – they’re Camponotini!
