Why You Should Be Way More Afraid of Ants

Ants might be tiny, but they’re way more terrifying than you think! Some species can wipe out entire ecosystems, while others have venom that can leave you in serious pain—or worse. There are even “zombie ants” controlled by a mind-controlling fungus that forces them to climb high and spread spores. Fire ants? They swarm, sting in sync, and won’t stop attacking until you’re covered in burning welts. Plus, they outnumber humans by the quadrillions, so if they ever decided to take over, we wouldn’t stand a chance. Basically, respect the ants... or regret it! Credit:
