unofficial roommates

So we found out fairly quickly after we moved last August that we shared our apartment with another species, the myrmex, commonly known as an ant. We have to be careful not to live dishes on the table overnight or anything or else our little co-habiters will attempt to finish off what we've left behind.

Well with that background, a few weeks ago my mom was going through a box of stuff in her room and found some chocolate she had meant to put in our stockings for Christmas. Most of the chocolate was still unopened, but there was part of a king size peanut butter Hershey's bar that had been rewrapped in it's packing. Well this is what was left of it...


Apparently our ants like peanut butter, but aren't so crazy about chocolate. All in all, it was pretty impressive.

EW! That is nasty. That reminds me of when Jeff was doing cleaning checks in his apartment and they found a whole drawer full of baby roaches. It was DISGUSTING, and I don't know how no one had noticed it sooner.

The idea of ants make themshelves so at home is familiar. I agree, those pictures are cool and interesting. I would of thought the ants would have taken more then just the peanut butter.

Wow, that is seriously impressive. Who knew they like peanut butter so much?? Not I.
