The last few re-fills of the hummingbird feeder have been so close together, I decided to add two cups of sugar-water this time.
That should last them a bit longer - twice as long, unless yet more come, which I wouldn't mind.
There's one, now!

So That's What Happened to the Ants!
I'd noticed there weren't as many ants on the hummingbird feeder, when I cleaned and re-filled it this afternoon. When I got close to the feeder, an apparent explanation appeared.
A spider has built a web on the inside curve of the hummingbird feeder's support. From the spider's point of view, I suppose it's like living next door to a grocery: the edge of its web is at most a half-inch from an ant expressway.
