But aside from attending the conference, Mikey also had another unforgettable experience in Florida when he and his partner RJ Garcia met and spent time with American cartoonist Matt Groening who is the creator of The Simpsons, the longest-running cartoon television series, as well as other shows like Futurama and Disenchantment. Last year, Matt sent Mikey a personalized artwork of Homer Simpson with a special dedication for him and his successful YouTube channel AntsCanada which he started in 2009. On that channel, Mikey shares videos about ant-keeping and he also has an online shop which specializes in ant-keeping.

“This is why when @appleboyrj and I were invited by the Groening family to their beautiful home in LA, we were floored! Their son Nate is an avid fan of my @AntsCanada channel and is a little ant genius! He has our merch and AC Ant Farms, and knows all the scientific names of the ants in his area and other places of the world. Check out Nate showing me the ants of his backyard in our latest livestream on the #antscanada channel.
