Descend into Brimstone - Giant Ant Colony Dungeon Map

In my current Black Powder, Black Magic DCC campaign, my players recently decided they'd had enough of giant ants. Their current plan is to go explore other small mine-dungeons around town. If they return to the mine-megadungeon underneath town, they're likely to go to 2nd level or deeper.
 
Which means that the point of interest I made for the 1st level isn't very likely to be explored. Since I no longer need to worry about spoiling my players, I'm posting it here.
 
This is my map for a Giant Ant Colony dungeon. I made it using Ruins of the Undercity. It's an abandoned mine (within the larger Maw) that's been taken over by a colony of giant ants, and a few of the original Yellow Jacket Mining Company workers are still trapped inside.

      Thanks, Trey. TBH, I worry that it will be a little dull, since ants can't talk.

      It's probably a bit like infiltrating a Borg ship in Star Trek. You don't necessarily need to sneak around unseen, but you have to remain "not a threat" in their eyes as long as possible to avoid catastrophe.

      With their high AC, the ants are quite difficult for 1st level characters to deal with. It may actually be better suited for a somewhat higher-level party.
