I'm not a big ant fan myself. Sure, what they can do is amazing but I've been bitten, stung and had too many uncomfortable run ins with ants while traveling to like them, but that's cool that you do! Sorry, but until one of the ant missions goes global, I'm afraid this spotting doesn't belong in your Ants of France mission.
