Just thought this would be a fun idea to try out. If you were an ant, what type would you be? I mean, not your favorite species, but the ant that you're most like. You can choose a species or a genus. 

 

I'll start this off. I would be Camponotus spp. because they're large and calm.

I guess I'd be Odontomachus since I've got quite the reaction time.

I'm Solenopsis invicta BECAUSE I'M SO EASILY TRIGGEREDDDDD

But seriously I would be Camponotus nearcticus due to their skittish behavior and attempted friendliness.

 

Would Reacker be Polyergus?

My brother is really dramatic and loves to be the center of attention. What ant would he be?

Solenopsis molesta, because they love to get up into everybody's business and make a big deal of things in ant nests.
