Hey, Fedi. I have a favour to ask you. Help me help a friend. (Not financial!)I have a friend who is all about cool bug facts. They're going through an intense patch in their life, so I would like to send them some bug facts to cheer them up. But this is really their thing, so basic search engine results aren't going to new to them.If there's a cool bug fact that you genuinely love, could you tell me? I'll save them to share with my friend over time. 1/n#Bugs #CoolBugFacts #Insects

@ShaulaEvans 1. The largest ant to ever walk the earth that we know of is the extinct species known as "Titanomyrma" The fossilized queens of this species were about the size of hummingbirds. 2. Carpenter ants sleep in a cuddle pile inside of their homes in rotting logs, like puppies. 3. Camponotus rectangularis is a carpenter ant with a wide head and simple black eyes. She gets her second name from her rectangle-shaped thorax. 4. The oldest verified ant queen lived over three decades.

@futurebird @ShaulaEvans Ants are so incredibly cool that other arthropods just want to be like them: "ant mimicry" is a treasure chest full of amazing bug facts.My favourite: in order to look more similar to ants, some jumping spiders walk on their six hind legs, the remaining front legs lifted to the side of their head to resemble ant antennae.
