   So the queen ant is now able to communicate telepathically with an electronic mind? Sigh.

   Reminiscent of 2 SF classics:
    • "Sandkings", by George R. R. Martin
    • "Microcosmic God", by Theodore Sturgeon

   I think it is just the general power of the female over the male, rather than myrmidon/cybernetic communication.

   Ant Queen rules! E.B. is just another worker-male, toiling to feed his queen!

   What about the movie Phase IV?
   Maybe the ants will build a solar reflector out of the sand in the ant farm and heat the house for free! Great movie btw

   The queen is using psychological symbiotic symbolism to produce empathy in others. It’s anty social behavior.

    This happened to Bobby Hill! (“King of the Hill.”) And Drama Queen Suzanne, I think it’s clear it’s the pheromones. Funny, you seem to be aghast at the suggestion of telepathy but seem to have no issue with a pretend robot.
