@futurebird Hi, i need an opinion from the resident Ant-thropologist (sorry.. :D)

I found this anthill in my mothers garden/flowerbed, and just managed to keep her from trying to kill it.

She is of the opinion that those are pests and need to be convinced to go away, with prejudice.

True to your name, it would be awesome if you have some propaganda, ehm, i mean information i can use to convince her that ants are awesome and useful?
