I don't think you understand the concept of hunting.

If you were going to kill them anyway, at least eat them - very high in protein and iron, while low in cholesterol. It's like red meat sans fat.

I would if only I didn't know that they prob came out of some hellhole nest nestled deep within the roach and rat lairs. Damn, those sausages are really starting to seem more appetizing by the second.

They couldn't have eaten much.

Didn't you know that ants are the best model of social species ever. The never fight within a colony and all they all work together to fix problem. If something bad happens, they don't rant about who's fault it is, they brainstorm to find a solution. Their social interactions goes so far that their bodies adapted to it. They have a second stomach in which they put food that they can give to another member in the colony if it's hungry. And they are extremely smart for beings of such small size(they have 3 brains). And because they don't have sexes(aside from the queen) their lives are very simple. They don't have to worry about anything but the well-being of their colony(which is one BIG family, really). Plus they are over 60 billions of them on our planet and some can kill you in a matter of seconds. Some may have killed dinosaurs in prehistoric times by eating them from the inside after infiltrating by the anus or nostrils.

1. A perfect model of society? Without differences, without conflict, without death, there is no evolution, natural or societal. We will achieve greatness one day. It just takes time to create a utopia with beings this complex.

2. Insects were HUGE in the days of dinosaurs - going through the anus isn't very possible...

LOL, I hate ants too. We have fire ants in Texas, and they're quite like the 'atrocities' that you mentioned. They earn their name due to the the sensation of being on fire if you stand still and let them swarm up your leg (they're so small you can't feel them). By the time the first stings start there's probably about a hundred of them on you. I glad I'm not the outdoorsy type anymore. They're everywhere down here.

1. The best model of social species are honeybees
2. Workers (which are female, btw) are no more than slaves who keep the colony and their lazy-ass queen alive
3. Soldiers have even worse jobs of defending a colony that will gladly replace them any time
4. Dinos eaten inside out from the rear, huh? Pics or GTFO

Things like this make me glad to live in a northern state. We just have the harmless-yet-annoying brown and black ants. During spring they're all over the kitchen in my house, but other than that they do nothing.

1. They have deaths and conflicts with other colonies and species, just not within their kin.

2. The biggest ants species ever never were bigger than 3 centimeters in prehistoric time. Plus, dinosaurs being very large had, well..., large anuses...

1. Ants are pretty close
2. They are neuter and can become either male or female trough some techniques(but a neutral sex usually looks more like a female sex) and it depends on how you view it. You can view them as slaves or you can view them as devoted members of a society that will do anything for the colony(the queen is necessary for it's development so of course they take care of her)
3. Again you can view them like that or like a member of a society that will defend their colony to death.
4. They can do it now, very possible they could do it then.

1. Close doesn't cut it. Discussion done.
2. I dunno. Ants are pretty much suicidal maniacs out on a food hunt.
3. Meh. Soldier ants are easily replaceable members of the colony. It's what they are there for: fend off any attackers, or die trying.
4.They can do it now? Again, pics or it didn't happen. (Far as I know ants only eat carcasses or injured animals that are pretty much dead anyways)

They usually do that when they are attacked by an other animal and only the most voracious of them. And it would kinda hard to get a pic but I'll try.

I'd just step on them or something. I know that ecosystems need insects and shit but if I could I'd just eradicate them all. fuck insects.

Okay, found a video that illustrates my point pretty well.

Thats nothing a little gasoline wouldnt take care of.

fucking crab was just minding its own business and OH GOD FUCKING ANTS

If I had one wish, it would be for the complete eradication of ants.

I think ants are fascinating. I have my own colony in my room too.

you better watch out then, if they get out they might crawl up your asshole and eat you from the inside out.

Nah, I didn't go for THAT kind of ant. I just found a fertilized princess, put her in a small terrarium and let her start the colony without having to worry about food supply and predators. Been two years now.

EDIT: Oh yeah, did you know that, after mating, the male ant explodes? For some reason, I like the tough of dying while making love.
