When you act as if you hate ants but proceed to casually catch one with a test tube.

Your house is the greatest insect death trap within the area.

You kill more insects than the exterminator

You've gotten into fights when people knock queens out of your hand

You've braved poison ivy because "I think I saw a queen ant there"

You're jealous of people who have an infestation of a species you don't have

You get depression when you realize how many more queens you could have caught if you started earilier

You think "ant babies" are cute.

 

You're buying more live insect food than most reptile keepers.

 

Your freezer is the largest insect graveyard in town.

you open the window on a speeding car in a vain attempt to catch the queen, when it lands on a highway you demand your mom stop the car in the middle of the highway.

 

when you climb a tree, slap away a wasp nest and twist your ankle to get an ant just to realize it is a worker

When you join this forum.

 

When your about to catch a queen but a huge crowd comes out of nowhere and drags you away.

 

When you wish you had 30mm long trap jaw ants in your backyard.

 

When your out of test tubes and use the nearest bottle to catch a queen.

 

When one of your relatives is confused by your fixation of ants.

When you go camping and even though you loved it, the best part of the trip is finding a newly mated queen.

If, you are on a walk, and try to pretend to be tying your shoes, to pick up queens, then slyly sneak your hand full of Queens in your pocket so your girl friend doesn't think your crazy. Then you hold your hand in your pocket trying to hold back escaping queens, for 2 hours on the hike back home and when the coast is finally clear, your hand is so sweaty, and cramped from trying to hold them queens.

Fill in the blank!  :D

 

Example: you never leave the house without at least a couple test tubes stoppered with cotton in your back pocket!

Your friends think you are weird for wanting and loving ants. And going to an extent where you have ALOT of knowledge about them and they find your obsession, very weird.

Relatable. In an annoying way.

When you can't resist the temptation of looking at your newly caught queen.
