    At first I thought, OK, so they hatch the butterflies and all is well... but this is borderline amazing.


    Lol, the queens got sent to their time-out corners.

    So, if I could mimic the sound, I could have my own ants army.

    I would create me a nice costume and call me AntAgonizer!

    I, for one, am a proponent of exterminating every ant before they take over the world.

    Given a nearly 100% oxygen atmosphere they could actually grow to the size of a house pet!

    I wonder if a butterfly will become the ultimate hacker symbol.

    I feel this is a perfect example of the faults of blind obedience. The ants have a large, efficient society built around a strict caste system and here one creature finds a single exploit and it literally turns everything upside down.

    Those caterpillars rule, man. Even over the Ant Queens, whose asses they kick. That's awesome.

    I say we go further and extermine ALL insects. Damned little slimmy summabiches. HUMANITY IS SUPERIOR!

    but some insects are cute, like bees and bumblebees. They have also queens which even fight against each other.

    I always wanted to be reborn as a butterfly.

    Most people ask me "Why a butterfly?".

    And I always respond that no one ever suspects the butterfly.
