    Is no one going to comment on the “magnified five times under a microscope”? Five times? What kind of weak, low refraction plastic lens, cost of bubblegum microscope are you using to magnify your enormous monster ants?

    This picture has no right to say it shows a face when it omits the eyes and jaws. It’s like posting a picture of a human nose and saying what an ugly face people have.

    Given a single bulldog ant can kill a full grown adult and we are several orders of magnitude larger than them and there are 20 quadrillion of them each able to lift 50 times their own weight yeah, I would say it’s a good thing we are bigger than them.

    Nothing to do with the picture of this ants antennas though.
