The landing of the plane was not something Silas had grown used to. Even being a rookie myrmecologist, most of his studies had been within the country where he didn’t have to drive. Flight was still very new to him. Now, though, the plane had stopped, and everyone had already been de-boarding while he thought about the trip.
Getting off the plane, the scents of Japan began to fill his nostrils; things like the smell of the trees and the smell of the hot tarmac itself were different from the stuff he would usually smell at home. But that was beside the point now, he needed to find the terminal to get to the north of this town, Shibuya. Reading the directions, he quickly found the subway terminal he needed to go to get to his new home somewhere in the city.
As he walked, something subtle on a nearby tree caught his attention. A small ant crawled up the tree along with its many comrades. Examining it closer, he found out it was the species Myrmica kotokui, a species that was only naturally occurring in East Asia. It was good to see that in a city as urban as this one, some ants still manage to survive.
