Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Well, where's the ant list? I am intrigued!

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (4 children)

Well if we have to do it ourselves...

  1. Fungus-growing ants (obvious pick)
  2. Slaver ants
  3. Formica rufa (spits acid from its butt)
  4. Saharan Silver Ant (adapted to the scorching sun)
  5. Bullet ant
  6. Giant Amazonian Ants (possibly largest workers)
  7. (some tiny ant?)

....

  1. Honeypot ant (10. because they should make the list but I don't want to look at them)

edit: added Formica rufa, Saharan silver ant

That one with the head like a penny and uses it like a door is pretty cool.

Whoah. Holy fuck ants are cool. Might abandon my career and become and entomologist.

How about the Saharan Silver Ant? They are specifically adapted to not get cooked in the sunny desert!
