I think they originally had their nest near a nuclear reactor.

I will be selling little colonies of around 20 ants. These require a small country, preferably an island nation, the seas around the coast form an ideal moat. Somewhere like Ireland would be great.

I'm thinking of selling these ants by the square foot.

If that's the size of a worker - how big are the queens?

375 square foot at £20 per sq ft = £7500! But you can cook and eat the eggs she lays and she can lay up to 20000 per day so hens are old school.
