So I was watching some ant videos and in one of them noticed someone in the comments was saying some incorrect information. So I tried to politely correct him, and that's when he started raging lol.

Here's a link if your interested: [url=https://youtu.be/LwqerfPvIM4

The kid has a good amount of charisma, but definitely needs to do more and better research.

Those kiddies need a nappy!

I dunno, man. I try not to be judgmental, no matter how cringy things get, and I thank whichever deities are listening tonight that I didn't have the internet to mess around with growing up. All the stupid and embarrassing things teenage Cameron did and said are lost to the sands of time.

Honestly, this does NOT look like a nuptial flight. At one point you can see an ant carrying a pupa, so this is most likely a relocation of the nest from one place to another. The problem is that any queens you pick up during this transfer operation will most likely be either unmated (so they cannot produce workers) or incapable of surviving without at last a handful of workers (this also holds true for ants that are highly polygynous like Pheidole sp, Monomorium sp, polygynous Solenopsis invicta stains or Tetramorium tsushimae). So you always need to gather some workers as well.

Meh it's the internet. Trust me I've gotten into bigger arguments then that on some boards over "in the great beyond". Worst thing you can do is provoke it more haha.
