But do all these Queen ants identify as female? The authorities better be sure because there might be some who identify as King ants!

When I was a kid I had pet turtles.

They were just paying startup expenses for their new exterminator business.

When I was a kid I had pet turtles.

As a lad, I kept a pet mudpuppy in a large aquarium for several years. Caught him by mistake while ice-fishing one winter ...

I recall that scene vividly. I’m near positive it’s from Outer Limits. I saw it as a kid and it stayed in my mind for years.
Those giant bugs not only had two, front facing eyes like humans, they could also talk, and had a strange Elfin like voice. They didn’t sound terribly thrilled to see a human being.

I had ants in one of these as a five-year-old.

You would be correct. It was from the series first season, an episode called, "The Zanti Misfits."

It was from a TV show called "The Outer Limits" (1963). A lot of people who saw it as kids still get the creeps when they remember it. I know when I saw it as a kid, I hated ants for a long time. LOL
