Field notes
The page lays out a colony loop: build around a queen, then cards hatch into ants that move independently through underground, surface, and tree layers. It names species-specific traits such as Temnothorax ambiguus climbing faster and Colobopsis impressa majors sealing nest entrances. The site offers browser play and an Android test build; it says cross-device progress requires a free account, while the Google Play release is still forthcoming.
