Kill it or not?

Poor little black ant in my bathroom has been in same position for a day now...i tried to prod it, and it moved around a bit, but went back to a resting, still position. I cant tell if it has an injured leg or not. I HATE killing insects I feel so bad. But it might be in pain or suffering. I know this is weird making a post about an ant lol but, would you kill it or leave it? 🥺🐜😔

It could be sleeping. Bugs can go dormant for long periods like that.

@Coralmist Don't worry ants are a collective super organism and don't have grief on an individual level.
