Ants are kind of amazing.
Someone gave me a lollipop, I don't eat sugar but didn't want to be rude so I accepted it, tossed it in a cluttered drawer and promptly forgot about it, two years ago. Recently I was inundated with a swarm of ants. I kept brushing them away and they kept returning. I didn't know why until I opened my desk drawer and found a large group of them in the drawer. There's a lot of clutter in the drawer. it took a while to dig through all of the junk to find the lollipop I had left in there.
My desk is not near any walls, out in the middle of a carpeted area. How did the little buggers managed to travel all that way, crawl though the piles of junk to find that to find this one lollipop? Must be several hours for them to get from their colony just to my desk.
