These ants really seem to be self aware. When you put your hand in, one of the ants that almost got hit on the head reacted and looked up and then ducked to avoid your hand which most insects wouldn't do.

[@ryanspencer6778]

Looks like she got hit in the head and went "hey, wtf?" Which I'd imagine is a pretty universal reaction to almost being whacked in the head by a giant hand.

[@ProfessionalBugLover]

well if it has a brain it probably is self aware

[@christopherstein2024]

I didn't expect a comment about ant self awareness but that's oddly exactly while I wanted to watch videos of ants. I read some stuff about ants, how they have long term memory and can recognize individual ants after being separated from them and how they can even recognize themselves in a mirror according to studies.

[@christopherstein2024]

Put himself through pain going through the bite index to attract views and subs, and then use that following to do what he really wants which is educate. Now he's got almost 20 million subs and a kids show! In like 2 years he's gone from an up and coming youtuber with 500k subs to one of the biggest channels on the platform.

It's that coyote is showing the more natural side of nature's creatures and what they're like when provoked. Don't get me wrong, the stings are a good laugh and also a demonstration to the pain and possible effects on a live person, but it's always nice to give some exposure of nature when it's not being aggressive...even when that aggressiveness leads to laughs.

I've got some experience with Ponerinae ants. They typically aren't aggressive in the slightest. As long as you don't provoke them or present a threat, they're totally calm and are relatively safe to interact with. Just give them the absolute respect that an animal with a sting deserves, especially one with a sting like P. clavata.
