Just thought this would be a fun idea to try out. If you were an ant, what type would you be? I mean, not your favorite species, but the ant that you're most like. You can choose a species or a genus. 

 

I'll start this off. I would be Camponotus spp. because they're large and calm.

I guess I'd be Odontomachus since I've got quite the reaction time.

I'm Solenopsis invicta BECAUSE I'M SO EASILY TRIGGEREDDDDD

But seriously I would be Camponotus nearcticus due to their skittish behavior and attempted friendliness.

 

Would Reacker be Polyergus?

Solenopsis molesta, because they love to get up into everybody's business and make a big deal of things in ant nests.
