I was browsing reddit, and I found that a person had made a lego Ideas project for ants. Sorry if this is annoying, and I have posted this on discord, but I'll put it here anyway. This person made this project, and if you click on the link and vote for it, you can see it in the lego shop sometime soon hopefully. I just want to say good job to the person and support will be awesome. (This is NOT my project, and I just wanted to say its amazing and an awesome idea that I hope you guys like :) ) thanks

Looks like the person also posted this one: "The Jack Jumper Ant"

 

"The jack jumper ant (Myrmecia pilosula), also known as the jack jumper, is a species of venomous ant native to Australia. Most frequently found in Tasmania and southeast mainland Australia...."

These LEGO Idea projects are basically competitions - ideas submitted by people around the world, subject to up-votes, and then consideration by LEGO. It takes a lot of votes for these ideas to even have the chance of seeing the light of day. While I don't imagine the ant community is so large that it could tip the scales, a few more up-votes for these two projects would be cool, in my opinion.

I love legos, and I love ants, so lego ants would be so cool.

Young ant keeper with a decent amount of knowledge on local ant species.

YouTube: https://m.youtube.co...uKsahGliSH7EqOQ (It's pretty dead. Might upload again soon, don't expect my voice to sound the same though.)

Currently kept ant species, favorites have a star in front of their names (NOT in alphabetical order, also may be outdated sometimes): Camponotus irritans inferior, Ooceraea biroi, Pheidole parva, Nylanderia sp., Paraparatrechina tapinomoides, Platythyrea sp., Anochetus sp., Colobopsis sp. (cylindrica group), Crematogaster ferrarii, Polyrhachis (Myrma) cf. pruinosa, Polyrhachis (Cyrtomyrma) laevissima, Tapinoma sp. (formerly Zatapinoma)

Death count: Probably over a hundred individual queens and colonies by now. I cannot recall whatsoever.
