The queens actually order the workers around. Malignant caterpillars – yes, I know; I always thought it was an oxymoron too – can learn to speak the language of queens and talk worker ants into spoiling them as if they were royals.

What I got the biggest kick out of was, once researchers figured out how to bug the bugs, it “astonished” them to find out the little bastards had something to say. You’re listening to them. What did you expect? Reggae? (“Do you remember the days of pesticide?“)

Of course, I’m astonished too. Indeed do many things come to pass.

Frankly, I find it more than a little bit creepy as well. Imagine this Spring when you’re sitting out in your backyard, all these untold thousands and thousands of tiny little ants out crawling around your ankles. All talking about you.

Next thing we’ll find out they’re taking upskirt shots with tiny ant cell phones.

Ever see the classic movie Them!, which starts in New Mexico and concerns our state’s Number One export (horrific atomic mutation)? Remember that weird sound the giant ants make?

What they’re saying is, Next time we write the script. And guess who wins?

Postscript – And now that’s weird and annoying. For some reason, just as I polished this post off, WordPress decided to out of the blue italicize everything. I know I overuse that, but c’mon.
