Absolutely. They are the only species other than humans that both farm plants and herd other creatures. One of the most amazing species on the planet.

Do either of you have a colony of your own? They are amazing to watch.

I've considered getting a colony off and on through the years, but have never got around to it. Maybe that is what I'll ask Santa for this xmas.

I don't, That would be cool! Having a colony in a glass enclosure, watching them crawl around, doing their thing. I also love watching the documentaries.
