Just used this tool today. I thought she only had 11 workers but no, there are 15 now!
This is an excellent tool for counting your ants. I need to convince the guy who made it to get rid of that horrible image ... it sells the tool short.
It's impossible to count ants when they are moving around. And I would have missed the one hiding under the queen.
Why are they so cute?

Tulip escaped again! She’s too smart! I caught her but she almost got taken by the house spider. She is home safe. I’m so glad she’s ok. This ant will be the death of me. Why do I have such bad sneaky little ants?? #namedAnts #tuliptheant #carpenterAnts #petAnts

This is Tulip, the median carpenter ant worker. Today she enjoyed some wet cat food. I can’t seem to find Pepper, the ant with the green spot, I think she might have cleaned the paint off (she was very dusty) — stay tuned for more important Tulip updates. #tulip #ant #namedAnts #tuliptheant #carpenterAnts #petAnts
Tulip is about two years old. It's been nearly two years since I marked her. The queen of this colony is 4.

In the past when I've marked ants I've discovered it *is* the same ant that likes to escape (and then wants back in)
That's why Tulip has a pink dot, although she's been more interested in hangin out on the branch recently. #namedAnts #tuliptheant #carpenterAnts #petAnts

Tulip, the eastern black carpenter ant (Camponotus pennsylvanicus) is a median worker. She likes to hang out at the highest point of the driftwood branch. Like most elderly ants (she is nearly 2 years old) she no longer enters the main nest. (I think older ants avoid the nest chambers to prevent disease) she spends a lot of time looking up… she has escaped twice. On her first escape I gave her the pink dots.

Exactly one year ago I used "bee safe" paint to mark three ants. I marked one with a white dot, another with yellow and the third with pink (Dottie, Daffodil and Pinky/Tulip)
Dottie and Daffodil died in the fall... but Tulip lives! I just saw her.
Tulip is a little cryptic it seems. I have not seen her for months! She's well over a year old now, possibly as old as two. I will keep an eye out for her.

Look at this big beautiful carpenter ant major from my Camponotus pennsylvanicus colony! I picked her up with the paint brush and just let her wander around on my hand for a bit. She's so gentle and curious.
