There are 2.5 million ants per person. I like to think specific colonies are assigned to each of us. Your *particular* ants.
Perhaps you have been assigned just three massive colonies of leaf cutters. Perhaps you are assigned 100,000s of tiny colonies of many different species each with dozens to 100s of ants.
But, what is more remarkable is that *each* of your assigned ants has to her (or occasionally him) assigned about 22,800 nematodes.
How do the little girls keep track of them all?
