It's actually a really wholesome story, he loved collecting bugs as a kid, but with urban development that became more difficult, so he wanted something for kids to recreate that feeling for him.

I used to chase crickets around and try to catch them as a kid, damn when did I stop being so cool 😩😩😩
June Bugs were the ones I used to chase as a kid. And then they would fly at my head and scare the shit out of me. Seriously those fuckers look like they're the size of golf balls when they're in flight and they zig around like TIE fighters.
I used to make ant hotels by digging out the dirt with my hands; it was really compact dirt so I'd always end up looking like I'd been in a mine.
In hindsight though, me picking up ants and running over to take them to the ant hotel probably gave them hideous injuries that made them die in agony, so :(.
If its any consolation, ants are durable as hell. Maybe a few of them left the hotel to find a new food source and they scent marked it for their comrades while trekking home, making the whole ordeal worthwhile for the colony because ants are collective organisms.
