BUT!!! How do I know that they didn't come from CO with me (OK, they'd be hypothermic in a deadly kind of way by now).
How do I know that they are not alien bugs that infiltrated the border without a visa?
How do I know they're not intelligent creatures from outer space that are trying to communicate?
How do I know that it isn't the beginning of an intergalactic war between human beings and the vastly more intelligent ant-like aliens that have already taken over 75% of the habitable planets in the closest 60,000 spiral galaxies?
