We can learn so much from ants, yet we will add laser beams attached to their head..

I sort of used ants as a weapon before.
When I was about 8 years old I had some disagreements with a friend so I dug up a fire ant colony and put the open jar next to his window.

He told me a week later that fire ants were running off with his food and stuff so it seems like you can weaponize them. lol

Weaponizing ants sounds cool, but I think we have slightly more effective methods. I;m fairly sure the usage of ants as weapons would violate at least one treaty as well.

I'm sure dumping or tossing dirt filled with solenopsis invicta on someone would do some damage...

I mean... Anaphylactic reactions. Even if you had to inject a much more potent mixture, ants could be a great scape goat.
