Today, I sprayed down some ants in my house. In the sea of ant corpses was a single living ant seemingly cradling a dead one in its arms. I'm convinced I just became the villain in an epic tragedy. Now I have to live with my ant problem because I can't bear to tear another family apart. FML

More then cradling it, it was more likely trying to carry it to eat it lol

My name is ANTigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

Yeah, I see a lot of ants craddling ants. 'Cept the craddlees are dead. And in the craddlers mouth.

First, they're. Second, just about every species on this planet is more deserving of existence than humanity, and you do a fine job proving that.

He's just trying to move it. Ants bury their dead.

Ummm actually no they don't, they consume their dead. It was bringing it back to the colony. Don't you think it would be a little inefficient for ants (a species with huge population numbers), who have a lifespan of a few days to bury their dead?

Um...they don't eat their dead. They move them away from the colony.

Did you ever think that maybe it was trying to eat the other?

Dead ant, dead ant *sung to "Pink Panther's cartoon theme song.

Ants don't feel the way we do about family and friends. So don't feel bad. Go ahead and murder all of them!

How do you know they dont just morn differently like by eating the dead?

Same thing happened to me the other day but they won't stop biting me or eating my food so I had to pay someone to get rid of them for me I cried when I paid the person because I felt so bad.... T.T

For some reason, I don't believe you.

Don't feel like you're alone in this! I'm that way too! Now if it were a colony of spiders... DIE! DIE! DIE!

I am not sure if you are saying that you like spiders or hate them. either way, My altwo cents is this: Spiders are nature's best insecticide. I dont let my husband kill any of them on my house.

why??? I would kill all of them, but I am way to scared to go near most of them. That's my family's job while I take care of all of the scorpions. They can go anywhere else, just not my house. haha I will probably get thumbed down. I understand that they kill other insects, but I can handle any other insects.
