Do you know how to tell an ant's gender?

@Gangstress Hahahahahahahaha.... 🤣

@BoobooSnafu 😂 I love ants

@Gangstress I really dig bugs in general, they're amazing creatures!!

@BoobooSnafu they are indeed. I agree completely

@BoobooSnafu I second that. Insects and arachnids are both fascinating.

@UndeadPrivateer yes arachnids 🥰

@Gangstress @UndeadPrivateer.... So many people are like "Ew!....kill it, stomp on it!".... Or worse.... And get out the bug spray.... Which is just so cruel!!!!

Most of the time these little guys are just in the wrong spot.... Move them back outside and let them do the job nature designed them to do.

Wish I could say the Same for humans 😒

@Gangstress OMG yes!!!!

So fascinating!!!

Fucking creepy!... But amazing to watch!

@Gangstress I was ready to learn too 😭😭

@BoobooSnafu we had an ant infestation in work so I picked up as many as i could with a dustpan before my boss ant powdered everything, they just kill them cuz it’s inconvenient for humans

@Gangstress @BoobooSnafu I've been strongly considering vinegaroons as pets, though I'm more than a little concerned my cats will eat them. 😅

@UndeadPrivateer
Hahahahah!!!

Ummm,...hahahahah, I'm sorry, but.... Even that would freak me out and destroy the 'mood'.:.if it came ambling up while making out!!! 🤣

@BoobooSnafu They're such neat looking little buggos though! I love cave creatures. 😌

@UndeadPrivateer they look fierce and lovely

@Gangstress Their black armor is pretty impressive, in my opinion. And their claws are a bit less capable of maiming humans than your typical larger scorpion claw plus no stinger. Which is nice from a personal safety point of view.

The way they hunt is super neat. They use their super long limbs and the whip on their tail to strike small insects and stun them and then dart in to grab with their claws. It's fun to watch and they're [i]very[/i] good at it.

@UndeadPrivateer I love insects like that. It's fun to observe them too. Maybe your cats will grow to ignore them lol. Our cats dont bother the hamsters too much now

@Gangstress Vinegaroons are so named because their main defense to things that may eat them is they smell and taste bad. Like rotting fruit vinegar when you smash them. :P So hopefully that would mean the cats would be smart enough to avoid them.

@UndeadPrivateer aha! That vinegar smell is off putting to most things too. I need to check these bad boys out

@Gangstress They're cheap, too. Don't eat a ton, as they're ambush predators so they mostly just chill out. And very tolerant pets. Pretty ideal, overall.
