So, I've been checking the plastic connector tubes of the carpenter ant enclosure, and they have been... working. They are persistent. Gnawing down the tube slowly over months and months. I think they can sense the airflow, I will try some putty to see if I can get them to stop gnawing.

Though this is one of the things I love about ant colonies, all of them together manage to do things that not one of them alone could imagine. But, there is purpose in the sum of their tiny choices.
