A tangled skein of bad opinions, the hottest takes, and the the world's most misinformed nonsense. Do not engage with me, it's useless, and better yet, put me on ignore.

you could just buy some venom and shoot it up instead of exploiting innocent bugs https://www.novoprolabs.com/p/poneratoxin-314593.html

Insects (Insecta)

Recent figures indicate that there are more than 1.4 billion insects for each human on the planet,[29] or roughly 1019 (10 quintillion) individual living insects on the earth at any given time.[30] An article in The New York Times claimed that the world holds 300 pounds of insects for every pound of humans.[30] Ants have colonised almost every landmass on Earth. Their population is estimated as between 1016–1017 (10-100 quadrillion).[31] With an estimated 20 quadrillion ants their biomass comes to 12 megatons of dry carbon, which is more than all wild birds and non-human mammals combined.[32][33][34]

I wouldn't listen to Entomologists on the number of insects and what not. Like are they really going to admit there's only three ants, no one's going to keep funding Entomologist tens of thousands of studies per year if they knew there's like 100 insects tops already the world, so when ever you ask them of course they're gonna say there's quintillions -or what ever bullshit large made up number first comes to their head when you ask- of them.

Remember just think about how many insects you've ever seen at once -and not including reflections in all those tiny ant mirrors, ant uses- and that's probably about how many insects their are world wide!

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.

Is this true and real?

And there is a rather cool and good and strange Canadian ANT FARM channel on YouTube for whomever asked about Canadian Ants.
