It is estimated that there are some 10 quintillion insects

alive at any one time.

But forget about them. This is about ME - Lloyd.

I'm a fly!

Oof.

It's no use. I've looked everywhere.

The die is gone forever.

You didn't even get off your bum.

No, I can recognise a lost cause, PB.

Well, we all know you're rubbish at finding things,

so you wouldn't help much anyway.

Er, excuse me. I am great at finding things, but only important things.

We don't need dice when I can just choose random numbers in my head.

Mmm...

Ha-ha! I rolled a six!

That's a critical hit.

Bad luck, Abacus.

Well done. I'll do my defence roll.

Mmm...

Oh, I rolled a one.

Found it!

Ha! Guess I'm just better at finding things than you.

Er, yeah, well, you got lucky.

If it was worth finding, I'd have found it.

What am I going to do, Gena?

My larvae are going hungry!

One minute, the pantry's full, the next, empty.

Yeah, I know what that's like.

Oh, look at this starving larva.

It must have clung to me all this way,

desperate for me to feed it.

Um... that's one of mine.

No, it looks like yours,

but it smells like mine.

Hm, definitely mine.

Here. You were just sitting on it.

Ah, yes, that's yours.

But still, what's a queen supposed to do?

Where's the food going?

Maybe you've got a pest.

Well, we thought that. The problem is we can't find it.

We've looked everywhere.

Wow! A pest.

Maybe I could find it.

Wait. I'm amazing at finding stuff. Way better than PB.

Only important stuff, mind. Hm.

This IS important, Lloyd,

and Libby needs a serious solution.

Oh, I'm serious.

I'll prove that I'm the best pest finder there is.

Libby, I'll find and get rid of this pest for you,

I guarantee it.

Yeah, and if he doesn't, then that's proof, once and for all,

that Lloyd is actually rubbish.

And he has my full support, either way.

Quite frankly, I've got no better options.

Come on, then.

First, I've got to understand what I'm looking for.

Big or small? What species? What's it smell like?

Size? No idea.

Species? Pest.

Smell? Unknown.

You're not giving me much to work with here, Libby.

And Lloyd needs all the help he can get.

No, I don't need help.

It'll just take a bit longer, that's all.

I will search this whole colony, top to bottom.

You'll need a guide for that.

No, thank you. I work better alone.

Come on, you two. This way.

Hang on a sec.

This way, then. This way.

Are we lost, Lloyd?

I don't mind. It's just nice to know.

I'm sure we've been down this tunnel already.

We're not lost, and we haven't been here before.

Or maybe we have.

But only because I'm being thorough.

Double-checking for the pest. This way.

Huh?

No need to follow us, Libby.

I'm making great progress.

I haven't moved since you left.

Nicole624 here will be your guide.

With her, you can find the pest, instead of losing your way.

That's OK. We're not lost.

Lloyd's just being thorough. That's right.

Though I suppose the guide might speed things up a little bit.

That's what I thought.

I'm so bored.

How do you navigate so many identical tunnels so easily?

Oh, it's just scent trails.

Canteen that way. Nursery this way. Conference centre down there.

And here concludes our tour of the north, south and east tunnels.

I hope you enjoyed it.

Great! Only the west tunnels to go.

The pest has nowhere else to hide.

On this level, no.

You what?

There's still the 10 levels above us and the 24 levels below, of course.

Oh! What?

Well, there's your problem. Too many tunnels.

There's too many places for a pest to hide.

I'll never find it. Oh, really?

Like this.

Let's try something different.

Nicole624, take us to the source

where the food's been going missing.

I've got a little hunch.

This is our storeroom.

Ho-ho-hoo!

Whoa. I mean... Oh! Whoa!

We guard it constantly, and still food goes missing.

Doesn't look missing. This is new stock, freshly foraged.

Well, if I were a hungry pest, this is where I'd be.

Who has access? Only ants.

It doesn't make sense, because, believe me,

we'd know if any non ants were coming in here and eating our food.

Mmm. Oh, banana!

Ooh, try it with this chocolate.

It's a combo to die for.

This gravy granule is pretty good.

Stop!

Your job is to stop the food go missing, not help get rid of it!

The Queen will hear about this. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I'm sorry. This is all part of the pest control process.

To find a pest,

you have to think like a pest.

Really?

Well, leave the chocolate.

We don't find much of that and it's always the first to go missing.

Mm, a pest with good taste.

Hmm. A taste for chocolate.

That gives me an excellent idea.

There we go. Trap set.

Are you sure that's enough?

She's right. Add some banana.

It won't be able to resist that combo.

Oh. Uh, I ate the banana.

Find more banana.

And don't eat it!

Hmm.

Aha!

No!

How could this happen?!

The pest took the food right from under my nose.

Oh, please don't tell the Queen.

Wait. You follow scent trails, right?

Can't you just follow the chocolate scent?

Huh. Yes.

It's still fresh. It goes this way.

This is where the trail ends.

Ooh.

Ho-ho! I found your pest.

Not sure how this took so long.

He's hard to miss.

What pest?

Uh, the great big caterpillar.

What caterpillar?

Uh, what do you mean, "What caterpillar"?

THIS caterpillar.

Don't worry. Now I've found your pest, we can get rid of him for you.

Abacus, get the other end.

And...

Oh, God, he's heavy.

Sorry, Pest. This is for the best.

No more pesting for you.

Are you happy, Caterpillar?

Put the larva down, right now!

Goo-goo, ga.

Huh?

'Larva' is a big caterpillar.

That's a larva who's going to make a strong, noble ant one day.

Wait till the Queen hears about you mishandling her precious larvae.

What? I do not understand.

What's to understand?

They think I'm a larva and I get to eat whatever I want.

It's perfect.

But how are you doing it?

Oh, better top up my scent glands.

Oh, it's the smell.

He smells like them.

That's very clever.

Thank you. It's a special talent.

Name's Limbus, larvae impersonator.

You are not going to get away with this.

I already am.

Now scram. Oh, we will.

And we're taking you with us.

Get off her! What are you doing?

Put my baby down!

But it's not your baby. What?

Can't you see it's a caterpillar?

He's the pest.

Nonsense.

This one may be on the large side,

but I know my own larvae when I smell them.

There's only one pest I see here,

and that is you.

I've had enough. Guards!

No, no, wait.

I'm sorry, Lloyd, but the Queen is very protective of her larvae.

Watch it.

It's not a larvae. It just smells like one.

It's the smell. It's the smell!

Bye-bye.

Well, that went well.

It did, didn't it? Lloyd found the pest.

Yeah, but I didn't get any credit for it.

And you didn't get rid of it.

No, and we need to.

He'll starve the larvae. And he's far too smug.

But what can we do?

His smell is too convincing.

Well, I'll just have to convince them otherwise.

Come on.

See ya.

Hey! We kicked you out. I'm so sorry. We won't be long.

Hey!

Argh! Lloyd, what's the meaning of this?

We're so sorry, Your Majesty. We'll get him!

Oh, you're back.

It's no use. My imposing smell is too powerful.

Oh, we'll see about that.

Stop right there, Lloyd.

Touch that oversized larva,

and you will never set foot in this colony again.

He's not your larvae, Libby.

And I can prove it.

Eh.

Ahhh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oi!

What the...? Hey?

What's this?

Oh.

Two Lloyds?!

Uh, no! I-I-I'm not, Lloyd.

I-I mean, no. Goo-goo.

I'm a larva. Goo-goo, ga-ga.

Lloyd was right.

The pest was disguising itself as one of our own.

Guards, kick this impostor out!

Ha-hey!

Out you go.

No! Hey, wrong Lloyd!

Whoops. Sorry.

Guards!

Whoa!

Oh, that was the best spot I ever had and you've ruined it.

Well, unlucky for you, I am an amazing finder of things.

Right, PB? Um, I wouldn't say amazing.

He was massive and obvious. And we helped.

I don't think I helped that much.

Hmm. So, Lloyd, what's your parents' eyesight like?

Don't even think about it.
