Ants In The Fridge!!!

Today I noticed it's summer and there's a lot of ants. I thought I'd remind everyone that now it's a good time to catch them and make them more copious. I've been thinking about mating them with mastodons to create a race of really small mastodons that would take over the world.

In the room where I am there are huge (1-2 cm) ant-like creatures. Instead of putting them in the fridge I kill them. If they were bigger, I wouldn't like to look at their bodies, so I'd try to throw them out of the window alive.

I wonder, is it the same with people? If people were as small as these ant-like creatures, would I just kill them like ants instead of throwing them out of the house? I think it would be somewhat disgusting to look at ant-sized people walking around the room, so I'd have to get rid of them somehow, and if they were really small, it might be hard to catch them alive.

CONCLUSION:

1. I think it's nice that people are relatively normal in size and don't walk around my room directionlessly like these creepy ant-like creatures.

2. I feel bad killing these ant-like creatures that have done nothing bad for me. I wish they didn't exist, so I wouldn't have to worry about them.

Warning!

If seen do not approach this Ant.

Ant has been known to cover his victims in honey and eat them.

At that point they are most certainly no longer copious and probably rather brittle.

So sometimes ants can become less copious when you decrease the temperature? This means that sometimes ants can become more copious when you increase the temperature. So the question is:

What is the ideal temperature if you want to maximize their copiousness?

OK, I've now spent a week in the fridge and C2, signifying my copiousness in this moment, is a whopping 738 342 096 844 copiousness units. This means I'm even more copious than I expected! 

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?

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).
