I could easily see the lightness of the text being affected by a low battery or because a screen is somehow failing or a loose ribbon cable connection between board and screen. If your device is crackable my first check would be the ribbon cable, testing it with a new battery, and lastly the screen. For whatever reason I'd find replacing a screen a more serious thing than replacing a battery.
Ants will happily go into random things. They've lived in my house phone one year. Another year they decided they liked the tower but not the monitor. I've found them in a drill at work too.
