If a little kid said "when I grow up I want to be a myrmecologist," it means he's probably fascinated by what creatures?

A myrmecologist sounds like someone who'd be into Ethel Merman (OK, bad joke), but it's really someone who studies ants, their behavior, their colonies, and everything about the small critters. It comes from the Greek prefix "myrmex" which means ant.
