I had an ant infestation in my house a little while back. I got two cats so I opted for the pet friendly ant spray. They were everywhere and I’d spray them and all those ants would die but more took their place. They were in my laundry, my sink and even my bed. Eventually I gave up and went for unfriendly to pets ant poison that they eat and feed to their babies. I figured if my cats were that dumb to eat poison it’s kind of a survival of the fittest thing. Long story short I don’t got ants anymore but I do got cats

So people all say they saw more than one ant at once, but like are we sure it's not just one ant using just a whole bunch of mirrors to make it's self not so lonely being the solo ant in existence?

The ants are at my house, stealing crumbs of catfood.

I have these small ants in my garage and I've been killing them by hand in great numbers, but they persist. I don't want to use any spray type thing yet as they are directly next to my solar panel controller and main line, and not sure if the spray will gently caress that up. Afraid to risk it.

They're gone now though, and will be for a while. Frozen underground, I assume.

You ever see an ant that's really huge and buff hanging out with other ants? Those are called majors and their job is to fight spiders and other poo poo. It's like having a lady bodyguard that's 20 ft tall

Anyway my guess is 100 ants

I'm done calculating. This is a real time number, since of course as soon as I publish it, it will no longer be 100% accurate, so many ants having died or born in the few moments difference.....

Scientists have tried counting ants by painting them with unique colors so they don't double count them.



Unfortunately they ran out of money for the research since warham minifig paints are expensive as gently caress.

I think that's the film that gave me my lifelong insect phobia. to this day I do not understand how the kids could get so chummy with a giant mindless armored beast whose mandibles could casually rip off one of their arms

"Antie came to their rescue despite the odds, allowing them to escape. However, he got stung by the scorpion and was poisoned as a result. Though the kids were able to wound and drive off the scorpion, Antie died of his injuries, leaving the kids, especially Ron, to mourn his sacrifice."

Rest in power Antie; gone but not forgotten

In college, my stoner friend got an ant farm and we'd get stoned and watch the ants dig their tunnels. But they soon started dying, and each dead ant was taken out of the tunnels and buried as far away as possible. And then another, and another, another.... and so on. Till there were 99 dead ants in the ant cemetery, and the last one died alone, down in the tunnels.
