Comrade ant is a cute, sometimes it grabs food that fell on the floor and carts them off.

enjoy bugs while they last, flying insect populations have dropped by around 1/3 in your lifetime

Ants are my second favorite insect, just behind bees. Hives are a super-organism, you know?

I like bumblebees they're cute but wasps and the like, eek

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 months ago

Wasps aren't bees, they're just jerks!

It must be weird dream week

Certified nightmare. I dreamed there was like a dead corpse of a deer outside, then these like giant wasp hybrids were around it and it was right by my window and they were coming in. Scared me bad enough like I said I woke up from yelling in my sleep.

I had a dream about wasps too, but that's probably because I got drunk before I went to bed

I don't like ants, they always get in my food and if you don't dry the sink out after using it then it gets full of them.

Ants are monarchist not comrades.

Jk, glad you found an ant reassuring. Speaking of dreams, I started taking my meds again after a while of raw dogging reality (badly) and I had forgotten the crazy, vivid, dreams they make me have. Some of them were really shitty and unsettling, but one of them really made my day even if I couldn't remember it.

Ant queens aren't like human monarchs, though! They just lay all the eggs.

In other words, ants aren't monarchists. They're mom-archists

Ants are monarchist not comrades.

Ant proletariat rise up and overthrow your queen, you have nothing to lose but bread crumbs that fall off a plate!

No bugs are bad. Let them bite you

did the "ant" have wings? might be a termite

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

Just a regular old black ant

You need a house centipede bodyguard to hunt down the rest of your infestation.
