You will have to forgive Lileks. He lost his father a couple of weeks ago and is, perhaps, um, more introspective and philosophical.
Gotta love it, though!
Those ants clearly need to accept Lileks as their own personal savior.
He could make things so much easier, and save a lot of lives, if he just buried a metal box with some holes in it and put a cheap luminescent watch inside.

There seems to be evidence that ants are attracted to electric fields:

I suspect his lights are low voltage AC, the ants might not be attracted to DC.

Maybe they’ve discovered it’s more efficient than sneaking into young fleas’ bedrooms at night and scaring them?

You’re asking dangerous questions, George.
If e-fields matter to ants, does that make it an ant e-matter issue? Just saying.
