The utility belt is ok, but it doesn't cover enough of the uniform. Maybe there could be a robe or something on top of uniform?

Ah, well, yes...
erm...
...they are made of a special material that shrink-fits when it reaches body temperature
...and changes colour.
...would a Utility belt help??

Those uniforms look kind of gay, and not in a good way.

It goes without saying that one ought to wear a piss-resistant dress when one tries to make non-native fire ants more copious. The same goes for immigrants as well, but who would want to make immigrants more copious?

This is indeed the case, but there's a solution:
1. Put the ants in the fridge.
2. Wait for them to become more copious.
3. Instead of taking them out the fridge (which would make them less copious) take the fridge away from around them.
Now you have copious ants with no fridge around them!

Can you really take the risk of pissing of the ants to that extent? Of course ants don't actually piss as far as I know but we have non native fire ants around here that will swarm and sting the beejeusus out of you if you are unfortunate enough to step on one of their nests. They are unwelcome immigrants from South America. Not trying to disparage immigrants from that area or anything...

Pants don't become more copious in the fridge, so we must assume that after the ants have become more copious some of them are wearing pants and some of them are not. This is, of course, a major problem because it may be that the ants with pants don't accept the ants without pants in their social group and the pantless ants are left panting on the very edges of the ant society.

Here's a thought:
What if you put the ants in the fridge, and then put the fridge in another fridge?
(Does a fridge become more copious if you put it in a fridge?)

Having given this idea a couple of seconds thought... I don't think that would be advisable since it would increase your copiousness by a power of 2, (ie 738 342 096 843²), leading to such extreme levels of copiousness that would render you a danger to yourself and others.

If I can help by entering the fridge again, I'd be happy to.

Couldn't possibly divulge that just yet, more research needed.

Ah shame, now we will never know for sure, perhaps next time (if there ever is such and event as "a next time") you could take a small torch with you (I say small, since you wouldn't want any latent heating effects of said torch to corrupt the experiment, like say a candle would do).
Oh well, at least it confirms another hypothesis of mine.

I can't really tell. As soon as I had closed the door I couldn't see the light bulb anymore.

That is indeed compelling evidence Vompatti, however, living as you do, in a climate that for more than six months of the year exhibits an average temperature several degree colder than the average internal temperature of a standard domestic refrigerator, then perhaps the remarkable differential between C1 and C2 copious quotient is attributable to some-other factor, such as the proximity to cheese or other dairy products?
Also, there is tertiary refrigerator-related question that you should now able to confirm or deny - did the light go out when you closed the door?
