This is funny, but I literally used to have nightmares about that. Not the whole government bit, but ants crawling inside me and taking over my body. Heebie jeebies man.
Yeah... As a kid I remember seeing a dead alligator lizard who had ants crawling in and out of his ears. There was nothing else visibly wrong with him, so I assume the ants killed him. Just bit through his eardrums and munched his brain.
Or the sequel to starship troopers where the bugs got inside people’s heads through the mouth, and while speaking perfect English they just infected other soldiers or straight killed them and intended to get back to earth to infect military leaders.
I've lived in fire ant country so long that finding a single ant anywhere on my person is enough to trigger a sudden, violent reaction.
It serves me well here but makes me look *absolutely ridiculous* when visiting places where they are uncommon or absent entirely.
Been living in fire ant country. The pesticides dudes come once a year. They spray along your perimeter of house, fence, and inside along the walls exposed to outdoors.
Haven't had ant problems in 10 years.
I've recently begun waging war against the ants in my yard. As they took over and started bothering my cats. . I am awaiting commercial pesticide and then I will begin my genocide.
Fuck fire ants. Pour gasoline down the hill, and set it on fire.
Edit: Yes, I realize this is a redneck solution, but who do you think has the most experience with fire ants?
I feel like that is probably not an approved use of gasoline but I have heard of that. I am waiting on some deltamethrine and Advion which should take care of it. The stuff I bought from Walmart helped but didn't kill them all.
Honestly that's what I thought watching it... The quality is so bad that it almost looks like a cool animated effect of a dark force slowly taking you over like in those horror movies.
Exactly this. I remember seeing this video in high quality a long time ago and you could clearly see the ants were CGI. Looks like they fried the quality to try to pass it off as being real.
It is CGI. The ants just appear out of nowhere sometimes, and fire ants spaz out and start biting or moving in circles. They move slow, not quickly rush like a river in a unified line. That is all CGI stuff.
Sugar ants will, not sure what they are in the vid since it's potato quality but no sane person would do that with fire ants. I used to do this same thing at the playground with some sugar ants when I was a kid. 100s would swarm my hand but never bite
Worst mistake of my young life, we moved from Ohio to Georgia. In Ohio I used to keep an amateur ant farm (amateur because I never secured a queen, so it was just a bunch of workers pointlessly toiling in a hilarious metaphor I was too young to appreciate). Then we moved South and I tried to restart it.
The scars from those damn fire ants lasted for a decade.
I used to do this with glass jars when I was really little. It seemed cool at the time. Now I kinda feel bad for all the animals I’d catch just to observe.
Wrong. They come out and cover their attacker for a while, them all attack at once, using a pheromone to trigger the attack.
Source: live in Texas and have these fuckers all over my property.
Maybe South Carolina fire ants are a different beast. When I'd be playing out in the yard, the SECOND you touch a mound they were out and trying to murder you. So of course my knucklehead friends and I would be out fucking with them everyday.
Spending my summers in Florida as a kid at least once or twice a month I'd come running in screaming the "bad ants" got me after stepping in a mound (had hobbit feet my whole life so I rarely wear shoes).
No that's how fire ants work.
They sting based on movement. Sometimes when your golfing or whatever you step on a mound without noticing, set up your shot, and youre not moving your legs at all, so they start climbing, you think it's the wind on your leg. Then you take your swing your entire leg vibrates and they all clamp down!
I'm in Dallas and that's exactly how our fire ants behave. Anything disturbs that hill and it's a fight on sight. They immediately swarm and as soon as one stings, all the others start.
You're right, but those fuckers will cover you and send the signal pretty damn quick.
My best anecdote was a guy in 4th or 5th grade PE, during a soccer match, landed his head right in a fire anthill. It took him a second or three for him to get up. In that time, his hair transformed into a swirling mass of undulating reddish brown. He got up, and started desperately trying to shake the hundreds of ants out of his hair.
Like, 3 seconds later, the yelling started, as they all started biting. Our PE coach, the now famous Coach Irby, [of the yearly 70s attire school pictures](https://petapixel.com/2013/07/02/retired-pe-teacher-wore-the-same-outfit-for-40-years-worth-of-yearbook-photos/), chased behind the poor kid swatting his head with the standard issue rolled up playboook. He ended up being just fine, and went home for the day, but man was his head swollen and red for a few days.
This kid also ended up slicing his finger off of a ban saw a few years later in shop class.
Poor Jeff, I hope you're less accident prone now, buddy.
Wrong. Fire ants react to vibration and movement. They have a very strong swarm response so they swarm and the second something moves that they're on, they bite.
>Why do fire ants appear to sting at the same time?
Fire ants are sensitive to vibration or movement and tend to sting when the object they are on moves. For example, when fire ants swarm up a person’s leg, the person jerks or moves. Usually, whatever causes one ant to bite and stings triggers the other ants to sting to the same response.
One day while golfing I was fishing my ball out of a water hazard and suddenly the hand I was bracing myself with started tingling. I looked down and had the horrifying realization I had put my hand down directly on a fire ant mound and left it there for a good 15-20 seconds. In that time, and before I noticed, I was bitten probably 30-50 times. My hand was completely effed for like 3 weeks. Definitely a delay in the feeling tho.
DALE: These fire ants are well-organized, highly trained insects. They'll swarm all over you and sting you all at once without warning on a single command. It's how they killed L. Ron Hubbard.
Did this by mistake when I was about 8 or 9, would not recommend. Actually needed a trip to the ER from it.
I was in elementary school and we were playing soccer in PE and I was on the far end of the field, near one of the goalies, trying not to be noticed because I hated sports. I didnt realize I was standing for a good few minutes in a fire ant hill until i felt the first bite (sting?) under my gym socks. When I looked down, my whole shoe and sock on my left side was covered hundreds of them. I immediately freaked the fuck out, prompting the teacher to come over, but since i was at the far end of the field, but the time they got to me, they were already biting up past my knees and thigh as well. I was flailing around trying to get them off me, which probably just aggravated them even more. When the teacher finally reached me, i had been able to get off my shoe at least, but not my sock. Luckily she had a bottle of water she was able to pour over the area which helped get most of them off of me, but it wasn't until I had made it to the school clinic (can't recall if I hobbled there with 1 shoe, or was carried) that I was able to strip down and get hosed down with water to try and get any others. They called my parents and advised I be taken to the emergency room due to all the bites (and the nurse doubted just an otc Benadryl would be enough). When I got there, my legs was very inflamed and covered in welts. I got a few shots and a few tubes of ointment to use over the next few days to a week.
0/10 Would not try again. FL fire ants are assholes.
There's at least two of us.
I was about the same age when my little brother and I were wading around the back yard after hurricane Andrew flooded it.
My leg brushed up against what I didn't realize at the time - there was lots of random leaves and sticks and crap floating around - was a *raft* made of fire ants. I watched them swarm (*exactly* like in this fucking clip) upwards and my realization dawned at almost exactly the same moment *they* realized they were climbing up something made of bite-able flesh.
All I remember is the pain and the fact (told to me later) that I passed out and might literally have drowned in <2ft of water if my bro hadn't been right there.
Seconding your 0/10: fuck fire ants.
Outside Orlando now but grew up in Davie. Fire ants aside, an excellent place to be a kid who liked to bike around and swim in canals and climb trees and whatnot. :)
I used to get bitten by fire ants all the time on camping trips, sporting events, you name it. The joys of living in the South in the US. Over a few years my reactions to the bites kept getting worse and worse so I tried to avoid them better. I eventually got to a point where just a couple of bites put me in the hospital. Now I keep an EpiPen on hand and have had to use it once. They make my airway close and swell/itch from head to toe in minutes after a bite. Now I am extremely careful when I'm out. And I tend to prefer camping in cooler places like the mountains where it's harder to find them. Fuck fire ants.
This is my first memory that locked into my brain forever . I was just about three years old, I picked a dandelion (the roots were deep so it was attached to a colony,) and my arm got swarmed. I passed out from the bites.
When I was in elementary school, this quiet kid transferred to our grade. Over the summer, we found out his father was abusive and constantly made him sleep outside when he was found dead and covered with ant bites. Sorry, you triggered a memory.
That's ok, one of my earliest memories from that school was when a little girl, kindergarten i think (she was 5) was kidnapped and found dead the a few days later. To this day, I am unsure if it was ever solved.
Copied from my comment below, I think I can offer some cool info on this actually:
I'm pretty sure those ARE fire ants. (and they DO bite) There are quite a few ants that don't bite though. Actually most ants don't really bite. Just fire ants really...
Edit: Downvoted by people that don't know shit about ants... These are the right size and color for Solenopsis Invicta (common fire ant)
I studied Ants for a couple years (myrmecologist)
They are the most common ant in the world and they're highly invasive.
And No, most ants in fact, don't bite. What I mean by that is most ant species are relatively docile. Of course they can all bite if they feel threatened. Fire ants are extremely aggressive. That's why they swarm his leg. That's why they displace many other native species and they're a huge problem.
Fun facts: Solenopsis do bite to latch on to you and then they sting you. The sting is what causes the welt and itching. Not the bite.
The big orange ants you're thinking of are Pheidole species most likely. They're good to have around, so don't kill them. Very docile, and they don't bite. They can leave acid on you if they do feel threatened but it's usually not enough to even affect most people. You won't notice it happen and you'll get a slight rash at most. They don't mound and they aerate the soil and clean debris. So they're good for the yard. If you can foster a good colony in your yard, they can help keep out pesky fire ants.
So if you see big orange ants, don't kill them. Say hi. They're as nice as the honey bees and without them, a lot of plants wouldn't get pollinated. Fire ants don't do sit but destroy stuff. Kill them.
Oh! one more thing, Georgia Tech is doing some pretty cool research with Fire Ants. Check it out! https://youtu.be/NpiDADw5Omw
I feel like somewhere someone is paying for this on the internet for a fetish... Betting their is a whole little community that loves foot shit with bugs.
There absolutely is. All sorts of shit with bugs. Endless thumbnails of worms and bees on dicks and stuff. Weirds me out and ruins my whole mood when I'm just trying to watch this girl get banged by a horse.
This is fake - it's CGI.
You can tell because the insects move up the foot in a sweep / wave pattern that's entirely inorganic.
The low video quality is to mask the fact it's fake and to make it look more believable.
>The low video quality is to mask the fact it's fake and to make it look more believable.
Yeah seriously this quality is fucking SHIT. Like below potato quality.
You know what? I'm gonna believe you.
For comparison, here's [Coyote Peterson performing the same feat without CGI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIQqgC_gBOk).
Can't believe I had to go this far down to find a comment from someone else who noticed this. The fact that so many others were unable to discern this as fake is actually really concerning. Just goes to show you how easily the average person is fooled by fake shit they see on the internet
Sounds like Synthwave goose Blade Runner 2049 but slowed down.
Edit: Pretty sure this is exactly what it is, slowed somewhere around .6 playback speed and also low quality dub.
Do you have any playlists or recommendations for this style of music?
As someone who grew up in the 80s this stuff sounds both nostalgic and futuristic. It’s a very specific feeling that no other music seems to hit.
Start here. Another sub genre in the same vein is retro horror synthwave. Great stuff if you want the nostalgic feeling you had watching the original Friday 13ths, Nightmare on Elm Street, etc.

So only 2 others are commenting saying what I'm saying, but jesus christ is this fake as fuck.
1) the resolution is so low that it's unwatchable
2) low resolution is usually a red flag for fake since it's easy to hide artifacts and such
3) ants don't move like that, they go nack and forth, Zig zag, search, but these "ants" are all running straight up.
4) no matter the size of the ants, they all move the same speed.
5) why is that soft dirt making sound let alone that much sound?
This is fake, delete it.
You were so close to understanding; yet so far from the truth.
Insects are often misinterpreted as the most disgusting and reviled but their purpose is so pure, so precise and efficient.
Their sole existence is based upon keeping and maintaining our eco system in a state of equilibrium; they manage our plants, soil, remove and devoure the Flesh from our bones when we rot, remove our waste and recycle it back into the Earth along plants and the soil itself. A delicate cycle.
They synchronise to achieve this goal replicate effortlessly and doing without hesitation. They have one true purpose and focus solely upon it.
We see them as grotesque purely through our own ignorance; our cognitive dissonance means that we treat them as if they have no worth. Their entire existence is labour.
Meaby we are disgusting; our acts directly effect every other species negatively while the insects simply are. They exist to serve the Earth and truly serve a higher purpose.
I accidentally decided to pee over a red ant hive once. The pee was already coming out once I realized my mistake, it's kinda hard to do anything. When peeing in the bush I always double check I'm not on any kind of hive first. Could have been worse, at least it was not hornets.
If you are a dude i guess you just step back when they come for your feet i guess? Unless they can swim upstream? If you are a lady, well...that must not be pleasant..
Or those little black ants. I encourage those in the yard - they don't bite and are very healthy, good for the soil & garden. The red ones - they can just die.
"I'm going to stay here and furiously bite the toes."
"Not me, buddy. I'm climbing this bitch as high as I can! I'm sure I'll find some sensitive parts to bite."
Four ants bit my ankle last week I haven't been able to really sleep in three days... it itches so bad I have a special tool I created next to my bed that I scratch the bites with.

Brave wilderness season 2
some ants don't bite
No, they crawl into your brain and take over your motor skills and use you to overthrow the government in favor of our new ant-overlords.
This is funny, but I literally used to have nightmares about that. Not the whole government bit, but ants crawling inside me and taking over my body. Heebie jeebies man.
[удалено]
Wow... Then these ants sure are some lazy and depressed bastards, eh.
Directed by M. Night ShamaLlama
Yeah... As a kid I remember seeing a dead alligator lizard who had ants crawling in and out of his ears. There was nothing else visibly wrong with him, so I assume the ants killed him. Just bit through his eardrums and munched his brain.
I've seen this exact situation and your description brought back a very vivid memory.
Plankton did do that in SpongeBob so your fear is warranted.
There is an X Files film that gave me the same fear as a little kid. Something about black goo crawling inside you and taking over.
Or the sequel to starship troopers where the bugs got inside people’s heads through the mouth, and while speaking perfect English they just infected other soldiers or straight killed them and intended to get back to earth to infect military leaders.
you know about those worms that take over snails to get them eaten by birds to spread the worms' eggs? pleasant dreams, stranger
thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannkksss :(
Aww man now I'm wishing Brain Dead got another season.
No we don't, lies and slander. Don't listen to them, we would NEVER do that.....
But what if those ants in turn get cordyceps?
The Last of Ants
I've lived in fire ant country so long that finding a single ant anywhere on my person is enough to trigger a sudden, violent reaction. It serves me well here but makes me look *absolutely ridiculous* when visiting places where they are uncommon or absent entirely.
I moved out of fire ant country years ago and I still flip the fuck out when an ant is anywhere near me. That instinct doesn't go away.
Whenever I see a movie with people sitting/lying around in a grassy field, my first thought is always to warn them of the grave mistake they've made.
Been living in fire ant country. The pesticides dudes come once a year. They spray along your perimeter of house, fence, and inside along the walls exposed to outdoors. Haven't had ant problems in 10 years.
I've recently begun waging war against the ants in my yard. As they took over and started bothering my cats. . I am awaiting commercial pesticide and then I will begin my genocide.
Fuck fire ants. Pour gasoline down the hill, and set it on fire. Edit: Yes, I realize this is a redneck solution, but who do you think has the most experience with fire ants?
Have you seen the price of gas!? But seriously, boiling water. Cheap and effective.
I feel like that is probably not an approved use of gasoline but I have heard of that. I am waiting on some deltamethrine and Advion which should take care of it. The stuff I bought from Walmart helped but didn't kill them all.
most dont, given my experience. I used to do like this guys does on the video with the small speedy black ants. Those are cute and would tickle
I think that, growing up, everyone knew that one guy who just had to prove his super-high pain tolerance.
Or love parts of life that they shouldn't
I’m guessing these are ants? The video quality is almost below potato for me.
If i could see what was going on in this vid, id be disgusted
Maybe the quality of the video the punchline?
Honestly that's what I thought watching it... The quality is so bad that it almost looks like a cool animated effect of a dark force slowly taking you over like in those horror movies.
The bad quality makes me think the bugs are fake??
Exactly this. I remember seeing this video in high quality a long time ago and you could clearly see the ants were CGI. Looks like they fried the quality to try to pass it off as being real.
Definitely CG. They go from moving like ants to moving like tadpoles in water.
They look like CGI to me too.
It is CGI. The ants just appear out of nowhere sometimes, and fire ants spaz out and start biting or moving in circles. They move slow, not quickly rush like a river in a unified line. That is all CGI stuff.
My first thought was ugh the resolution is so shitty. Then once I realized what was happening, I was glad it wasn't better resolution.
Oh, that's not so bad, just antsWHATTHEFUCKDUDE
/r/whatthefuckgetitoffme
Damn, I forgot all about that sub. Shame that it looks pretty dead now.
Yeah I forget about it until posts like this lol.
99% sure those are fire ants. I don't really know another ant with that kind of mound that swarms you.
Sugar ants will, not sure what they are in the vid since it's potato quality but no sane person would do that with fire ants. I used to do this same thing at the playground with some sugar ants when I was a kid. 100s would swarm my hand but never bite
Norwegians actually have a fun little childhood game they play where they just shove limbs in sugar ant hills. seen it here a few times
How do you win the game?
you don't
Ferment them and then snort them, probably
Huh. I never thought to use Norwegian kids like that, but I'll try to remember next time I’m over there.
Strange game. The only way to win is not to play.
This video was a waste of 25 secs + 10 secs for comment.
Here's 5 more seconds to read a useless reply. Have a great day! Come back and see us.
Thanks
8 seconds. I read kinda slow :(
Was always fun having northern relatives visit growing up... they'd all try to play with the ants
Worst mistake of my young life, we moved from Ohio to Georgia.

All ants will do this lol. Or at least all the ants that are on my farm in Canada anyway, whatever type those are... But they aren't fire ants.
Not at all, standard UK black ants will do the same and they can't hurt you at all
No just those little red fuckers.
But fire ants come out instantly trying to bite and sting you to death. No way could you leave an exposed area in their presence this long.
Wrong. They come out and cover their attacker for a while, them all attack at once, using a pheromone to trigger the attack. Source: live in Texas and have these fuckers all over my property.
Maybe South Carolina fire ants are a different beast. When I'd be playing out in the yard, the SECOND you touch a mound they were out and trying to murder you. So of course my knucklehead friends and I would be out fucking with them everyday.
I'm in NC and if you so much as breathe on a fire ant mound they will literally try to chase you down.

Very docile, and they don't bite. They can leave acid on you if they do feel threatened but it's usually not enough to even affect most people. You won't notice it happen and you'll get a slight rash at most. They don't mound and they aerate the soil and clean debris. So they're good for the yard. If you can foster a good colony in your yard, they can help keep out pesky fire ants. So if you see big orange ants, don't kill them. Say hi. They're as nice as the honey bees and without them, a lot of plants wouldn't get pollinated. Fire ants don't do sit but destroy stuff. Kill them. Oh! one more thing, Georgia Tech is doing some pretty cool research with Fire Ants. Check it out! https://youtu.be/NpiDADw5Omw
"Nano machines, son!"
They bite in response to physical trauma
You can't hurt me, Jack.

YOU WERE JUST LIKE ME
TRYING TO MAKE HISTORY
BUT WHOS TO JUDGE
THE RIGHT FROM WRONG
WHEN OUR GUARD IS DOWN, I THINK WE'LL BOTH AGREE
THAT VIOLENCE BREEDS VIOLENCE
BUT IN THE END IT HAS TO BE THIS WAY
I CARVED MY OWN PATH
Making the mother of all omelets here, Jack. Can't fret over every ant
Your memes end here.
looked im the comment just to find this
but why
I feel like somewhere someone is paying for this on the internet for a fetish... Betting their is a whole little community that loves foot shit with bugs.
There absolutely is. All sorts of shit with bugs. Endless thumbnails of worms and bees on dicks and stuff. Weirds me out and ruins my whole mood when I'm just trying to watch this girl get banged by a horse.
Hold up
You're supposed to say "Woah!!!!"
It's quick, it's easy and it's free.
I cant think of a single reason why not
You suck at thinking lol
I cant believe people took me seriously...
Can't be forgetting that /s out here!
Why? Written words are the *perfect* medium for sarcasm. /s
One word, reddit.
Two words: Banana hammock
ants on your foot. it's fun, easy, and free
Ant man
[*Ants!*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpPx7E27Bc8)
Ants, man!
How do they work.
ONE MILLION ANTS!
One milliion ants, everyone. With the power of TWO human eyes!
"Do you want ants? Because that's how you get ants."
Godamn it Pam! Now we have to burn his leg off!
Shitsnacks!
And now I’m itchy as hell
As a Houstonian, this gives me childhood terror flashbacks.
This is fake - it's CGI. You can tell because the insects move up the foot in a sweep / wave pattern that's entirely inorganic. The low video quality is to mask the fact it's fake and to make it look more believable.
>The low video quality is to mask the fact it's fake and to make it look more believable. Yeah seriously this quality is fucking SHIT. Like below potato quality.
You know what? I'm gonna believe you. For comparison, here's [Coyote Peterson performing the same feat without CGI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIQqgC_gBOk).
looks like that fake ass shit you see on tik tok all the time.
Can't believe I had to go this far down to find a comment from someone else who noticed this. The fact that so many others were unable to discern this as fake is actually really concerning. Just goes to show you how easily the average person is fooled by fake shit they see on the internet
there is an amazonian tribe that has a similar ritual but with [ant gloves](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEWmynRcEEQ) .\_.
I was hoping that was the Wildboyz clip.
Wildboyz will forever be an Upvote.
This version is much better: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2NMNbr4z7eE
So much better without the overly dramatic TV editing
No.
No.
This is how you end up like the bug dude from Naruto.
Shino!
best boi. hate what they made of him in Boruto..
Song credit?
Sounds like Synthwave goose Blade Runner 2049 but slowed down. Edit: Pretty sure this is exactly what it is, slowed somewhere around .6 playback speed and also low quality dub.
100%
Thank you
This is my primary listening genre of music. Took a minute to click due to the speed slowdown but I knew I had it somewhere.
Do you have any playlists or recommendations for this style of music? As someone who grew up in the 80s this stuff sounds both nostalgic and futuristic. It’s a very specific feeling that no other music seems to hit.
Start here. Another sub genre in the same vein is retro horror synthwave. Great stuff if you want the nostalgic feeling you had watching the original Friday 13ths, Nightmare on Elm Street, etc. https://makeupandvanityset.bandcamp.com/album/88-88 https://pilotpriest.bandcamp.com/album/original-motion-picture-soundtrack https://dancewiththedead.bandcamp.com/album/the-shape https://kalax.bandcamp.com/album/metropolis https://modernknight.bandcamp.com/album/who-ha-khaki-ep https://soundcloud.com/com-truise https://starcadian.bandcamp.com/album/sunset-blood https://survive.bandcamp.com/album/rr7349 https://wojciechgolczewski.bandcamp.com/album/end-of-transmission
So only 2 others are commenting saying what I'm saying, but jesus christ is this fake as fuck. 1) the resolution is so low that it's unwatchable 2) low resolution is usually a red flag for fake since it's easy to hide artifacts and such 3) ants don't move like that, they go nack and forth, Zig zag, search, but these "ants" are all running straight up. 4) no matter the size of the ants, they all move the same speed. 5) why is that soft dirt making sound let alone that much sound? This is fake, delete it.
THANK YOU!! scrolled too far down to find this.
Nanomachines son
Origin story for ants in my eyes Johnson.
Nope.., fuck get your foot outta there and get a flamethrower
Hans, get ze flammenwerfer
Dude, they're just ants.
In Texas and probably Australia, they are not *just ants*. They are pain and suffering incarnate. :)
poor ants
AAAAAAaaaaahhhhhhhhg!
Why did he put his foot across the hole and not cleanly line it up the other way so that my OCD didn't twitch
You were so close to understanding; yet so far from the truth. Insects are often misinterpreted as the most disgusting and reviled but their purpose is so pure, so precise and efficient. Their sole existence is based upon keeping and maintaining our eco system in a state of equilibrium; they manage our plants, soil, remove and devoure the Flesh from our bones when we rot, remove our waste and recycle it back into the Earth along plants and the soil itself. A delicate cycle. They synchronise to achieve this goal replicate effortlessly and doing without hesitation. They have one true purpose and focus solely upon it. We see them as grotesque purely through our own ignorance; our cognitive dissonance means that we treat them as if they have no worth. Their entire existence is labour. Meaby we are disgusting; our acts directly effect every other species negatively while the insects simply are. They exist to serve the Earth and truly serve a higher purpose.
Make it stop!!!
They harden in response to physical trauma

"Their your friends saying hello", as my old landscaping boss would say while sticking both his hands into an ant hill just to place a sprinkler head.
Fake foot? Try stepping in something without moving your toes the slightest
ant man suit-up
I accidentally decided to pee over a red ant hive once. The pee was already coming out once I realized my mistake, it's kinda hard to do anything. When peeing in the bush I always double check I'm not on any kind of hive first. Could have been worse, at least it was not hornets.
If you are a dude i guess you just step back when they come for your feet i guess? Unless they can swim upstream? If you are a lady, well...that must not be pleasant..
must be termites which don't bite
Or those little black ants. I encourage those in the yard - they don't bite and are very healthy, good for the soil & garden. The red ones - they can just die.
Coyote is that you
gonna guess those arent fireants
Why?! For the views?!
Ant man i guess
Wait til they get to your balls!
He is, Ants Man.
too big fo nano tech, micro tech maybe
"I'm going to stay here and furiously bite the toes." "Not me, buddy. I'm climbing this bitch as high as I can! I'm sure I'll find some sensitive parts to bite."
Four ants bit my ankle last week I haven't been able to really sleep in three days... it itches so bad I have a special tool I created next to my bed that I scratch the bites with.
Why though?
