when you're seriously weighing the idea of finding large camponotus queens against getting eaten by a cougar at night

When you casually, politely, but with zero tact offer to pay your geo-caching co-worker for any queens they might find on their treks.

When you ask your local pharmacist for any extra pill bottles, they ask why, and they give them to you simply so you'll stop explaining.

When you watch a Terminix or similar pest control commercial, and feel slightly sad.

You have a heated argument with your Gradfather that the Lasius latipes colony you just found are not "fire ants."

A bank security guard interrogates you, after noticing that you've been wondering near the bank he's working with for quite some time; and you had to explain that you were acquiring Queen Ants near the property.

 

EDIT: ~Side Note: Best Bank = Loads of Species, Plus Easy To Acess

The cotton you once thought was endless ran out, and you had to dash towards the nearby store to obtain more.

Yesterday I had about 70 test tubes, today I had to put ants into a pill boxes and injections (or as you call it). You have no idea home many 3-4-5-queen colonies I made... Hunting for 30 minutes, prepare them for 3 hours. 😩

Nearby people circumnavigate around you, thinking that you're housing harmful substances inside the test-tube setups.

When you see a queen walking on the sidewalk but there are a lot of people so you wait 'till they are gone to collect it 'cuz you don't want to be seen as a crazy person.

Even at work you kept thinking about ants on what can be use for hydration system, possible temporary outworld, collection containers.
