Oddly enough, sometimes it's actually been useful for me to think of the colony as a giant, expensive, productive ant farm... they are just insects, but insects now surrounded by such a lovely cloud of myth, political weight, and oddly a halo of environmental angst, that it all gets kind of stretched.
But your observation about just how much attention, work, and time I put into these critters is right on. I made an emotional investment, and it has been hard to lose the girls as I liked to call them so that I could care for them.
