To me, the first should be ants, they’re practically everywhere and there’s a lot of them
Bees or ants. They are capable of building infrastructure, listen to command, and hate wasps and I don’t want to side with wasps.
Ants are crazy. I’m currently battling carpenter ants, and quite frankly, it’s obviously a losing battle.
Yes, we should develop mini rifles for the bees so they can kill those bastards
lets make Tiny BeeZookas
BeeZookas
Carbeens.
You ever read children of time? I’m definitely going with the spiders.
Came here for spiders. I was always afraid of spiders when I was younger, but now I marvel at them. I get huge orb weavers on my deck in summer. I love watching them meticulously spin their spin and wait, static, floating on glass threads.
Mosquitoes. If they were organised and had a goal, they could destroy humans. Imagine if they all line up to suck from someone with loads of diseases to get some viral load and then go and seek out people in positions of power to infect.
Ants. Sentient ants could literally end us overnight.
The ants will not listen. The ants will show no mercy.
Praying mantises because have you seen them?
In the UK we call them daddy long legs, I don’t know what they would be called in the US - though I think it might be horseflies(?). Anyway I was told at School that IF they could break human skin, they would be deadly to us - but they haven’t evolved that ability - yet. So I think they would be who I would befriend first - just in case.
The idea that daddy longlegs are highly venomous and just unable to pierce human skin is an urban myth and has no basis in reality. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/daddy-longlegs/
Either, ants would destroy us, or theyd be glued to social media and started infighting for completely arbitrary reasons
Anyone who was privileged to read animorphs knows that the correct answer is whatever ensures that ants remain uninvolved.
Honestly, I’m going to go with spiders. I love spiders, and the fact that I can have an army of Hobos, Fiddlebacks (Brown Recluse), Redbacks, Mouse, and Funnelwebs, that people are already naturally are terrified of but also regularly prey on other insects? Yes please! Plus, it would mean all the jumpers would be my buddies! Precious little fluffy babies<3
A close second is wasps, but that’s only because wasps species make up 1/3 of all insect species out there.
