Given a single bulldog ant can kill a full grown adult and we are several orders of magnitude larger than them and there are 20 quadrillion of them each able to lift 50 times their own weight yeah, I would say it’s a good thing we are bigger than them.

Nothing to do with the picture of this ants antennas though.

I hadn't heard about bulldog ants before and was incredulous about your statement, but damn, yeah, bulldog ants are wild
