Do you have the Christmas blooming
*Helleborus niger 'Praecox'* in flower? If so, you'll see them there as
well, on any day that the temperature is 40 (F) or higher. They are the
reliable pollinators of the very early and very late blooming Hellebore
and have been up and about here (Ithaca, Zone IVB) pretty much until the
bitter cold snap of December 30th.

Something in my kitchen, too. Usually they have the tact
to hold off until a February thaw.

My ants do not have any tact at all, and do not limit themselves to any room.
How much for the anteater in the window?
