HUBRIS CONTEST:
She relished her place at the center of the colony. All her needs were met. Her food was brought to her, as well for her nursing children. She had thousands of workers at her beck and call, digging, constructing, foraging. Mating took place whenever she felt the urge. Even her waste was disposed of for her.
Taken care of in this manner, was it any wonder that she could expect to live for as long as ninety years? Every day, nothing but leisure.
She thought herself fortunate, but all the other ants thought of her as nothing but a slave.
