I remember I was walking home during the summer, and I felt something in my nose. I blow my nose, and out pops a black ant. My left nostril burned for a bit after that.
I used to just sit outside sometimes in the summers, just watching them working in my yard.
I used to have fun with a magnifying glass and ants. I still do in the summer.
[QUOTE=dirtydirtypanda;26710583]I want to be an ant.[/QUOTE] I don't think it would be very much fun working constantly in crowded environments when you're ultimate goal in life is to serve a single queen - usually meaning your death for the good of the hive.
If you kick the ant hill, they swarm you until they crawl up your legs and into your mouth. Then they decapitate you.
It's really interesting how such primitive and small beasts can be so complex. It's almost like they're humans at war. Small, six-legged humans...
[QUOTE=Drill Remover;26699091]When I was a kid I sat down on a fire ant hill once. Naked.[/QUOTE] What the fuck were you doing outside naked in the first place.
I had an ant farm a long time ago, was pretty cool until the ants shriveled up and died, leaving nothing but dead ant carcasses to watch until the next batch of ants were ordered and mailed.
I've killed so many, probably in the thousands, they can be fucking annoying, especially when there starting to get into your house. But otherwise there pretty cool.
I dislike Ants very very much sense I was little ( I am not scared of them I just despise them )
I love ants.
After I trim my nails I put them by a column of ants, and they dutifully work together to pick it up and carry it home. Also, I was washing dishes and a clearish-white fluid landed on the windowsill (It's not milk, water, or sperm) and a nearby column of ants just stopped and started drinking, almost like a roadside bar. When I was in Mexico I got so see some Leafcutter ants. Amazing. Ants are so admirable... Bonus, thread music: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARfLaNJcpsw[/media] Original is a civil war song, "Johnny comes marching home again" based off an Irish anti-military song.
It is my hope that some day all fire ants will die horribly.
Ants creep me the fuck out. Got covered in them when I was 3. Never forget.
Ants are awesome. They're pretty much the perfect species, they work as one unit whenever they need to. They're also damn strong. If an ant was as big as a human, it'd be able to lift a tank.
[QUOTE=paul simon;26728540]Ants are awesome. They're pretty much the perfect species[/QUOTE] As much as I agree ants are awesome, but there are a lot of other "perfect" or just plain awesome species out there. I mean you would be amazed! One wolf-type deal creatures they travel in pairs, two wolves going great distances hunting down shit together. Pretty awesome as well! also some mountain goats.. jesus, the ones with HUGE awesome antlers and how they jump around on the platforms in the mountains, fighting and poking each other aggressively with the huge fucking antlers that makes them look so badass I wish I was one of them! But if you want a perfect specie.. I guess Human would be that. :v: But disregard.
I once parked my motorbike on a massive bull-ant mound without realising it (it was flat and wide and subtly hidden) and when I returned to move it heaps of ants were piled up against the bottom of the rear tire trying to climb it. They would only climb a few centimeters before having a spazz attack and dropping off. Not one was able to actually get onto the bike. Do ants hate tires?
I used to get ants inside my house and they used to crawl around searching for food on my desktop. One actually ate from my fingernail, he used his jaw and scraped out the stuff. Ant bro 4 lyfe :3:
I am allergic to fire ants, so fuck them. And I get these around my neighborhood once and a while: [img]http://www.richardton-taylor.k12.nd.us/jessica.neidhardt/images/blue%20velvet%20ant.jpg[/img] Not really an ant, a wasp/ant...
[QUOTE=ConvolutedLogic;26694012]Small babies have been killed by ants before. Same with pets.[/QUOTE] I woke up to my pet mouse dead, covered in ants.
