A ladybug (most likely one of those pesky imported Asian lady beetles) spent an unusual amount of time (for a bug) walking back and forth along the windowsill above my kitchen sink. The bug was about the same color as the wood; perhaps that was its attraction to the windowsill. When I spoke to it, it ignored me just like your ant ignored you.</p> It’s not just ants that work out by walking.
