MRS. QUEEN ANT:
How did I come up with the name Mrs. Queen Ant? I wanted something catchy and unique! Mrs. Queen Ant was the first name for this website because the colony revolves around the Queen Ant I wanted to add ants to share my learning experience of ants with you!  haha oh a little about me! How did it start? This story involves a lot with my ant farm and family. hmm...

 

Going back to how it started!

Let me take you back to Dec 25th 1994! I was 6 years old when I received my first ant farm.  It was a Educational Insights Geosafari Ant Farm Factory, Multicolor!! My dad tried to help me get fire ants but he got ate up lol 

 

The Science Fair!

My mom helping me with my 5th grade science fair, she got ate up too! They were amazed by how I didn’t get bit.  I guess I was an ant whisperer lol! In Science fair, I won 1st place! It was a hard decision for the judges between me and another student to place overall.  

 

In my eyes of the ant world!

When I saw the ants close up and watched them dig tunnels for the first time… it just made my eyes gleam with excitement! Me being the one interested in ants so much got all my family and grandparents involved and interested in ants too! We read books and studied them all, it was so much fun! My grandaddy one morning surprise me with sugar ants and we learned a lot about them too!

​

My mawmaw got herself a big peppermint jar and fill it up with dirt for the fire ants and we watched in amazement as they tunneled and built all the separate rooms!  I was so enchanted that I had to discover all about them!!! As well as all the different types of ants!!! I have gathered many different types of ants: black carpenter ants, red ants, fire ants, leaf cutter ants, big head red ants, sugar ants, orange sugar ants all from outside around my home place. And then the harvest ants I ordered by mail. Those ants created a lot of memories with my family and they are my happy place! Most of the ants I mentioned above are names I gave them since I couldn't tell which one was really them when I was younger.

 

Introduced my Husband to Ant!

As I grew older and met my husband, I introduced him to ants! We were out at my grandparents place looking for the sugar ant's when my husband dug up a queen ant! He got excited too lol It was fun! 

This is my story and I would love to share my knowledge and experiences with you so just hit me up and lets dive into the world of  ANTS AND CRITTERS!!!!
