Maybe ants aren’t all that bad.

I just saw the neatest thing. There was an ant by the sink (one of the big gross black ones) and I was about to wash it down the drain when I noticed it was carrying a dead ant. It carried him all the way to the edge of the sink, dropped him into the basin, and walked away. I’d never seen anything like that before, and while I generally don’t like bugs in the house (or bats!) and spray them if I can, I certainly appreciate this particular ant’s efforts in getting rid of its dead for me :smile: Hopefully it’ll continue!

I just saw the same thing. An ant carrying a dead ant that I had made dead earlier. They are attacking the trash can in my kitchen because I put the core of a carmel apple in it. I have to take my trash out. I let that one go.
