Is there a right kind of anthill to sit on?


In my area, the wrong kind of anthill contains anything in the genus Myrmecia, and the right kind contains almost anything else.


I used to play on top of a giant (for a kid me, anyway) anthill in a nearby forest.

That's how I learned that forest ants, at least the local ones, are incredibly docile. I never got bothered by them.


Bullet ants, on the other hand, are not fun. Not even a little bit.


If you’re an ant, sure!


There's a Far Side cartoon in that

"Oh boy, look at that all that melting ice cream.. I hope he sits on our anthill!"


black ants, cuz they tickle the nethers instead of biting them
