@futurebird I want to understand what I am seeing. So, you have made a new nest or enclosure and they are repopulating it. Because it's an enclosure you need to move refuse out and food in. During that process, all the ants gather around the queen to protect her or are they seeking her out for instruction/orders?

When they cower, in my mind it visualizes more human or canine, with them lowered their heads and looking away from you. That doesn't sound... right?

Such neat mannerisms. I'm curious if it's ubiquitous among ant kind? Perhaps certain groups have a higher/lower tolerance to what equated to "large enough"?
