Remark: if there's sugar ants, it must be Spring. How true.
When the weather gets warmer, we see an increase of ant activity around our house. Some even make incursions into our home, which dooms them to a trip into the forest via the Dustpan Express.
We've taken to referring to the ants as "Bettys", which is a little nicer than announcing that the hibiscus plant is crawling with formicidae. Betty was the Splendid And Perfect Queen Of The Ants in Episode 22 of "The Tick" ("Ants In Pants!", 1995).
