Complaining ants

The ants complained about everything.

How back in the good old days they didn't need to milk them damn aphids they could find their own food and eat it without bringing the third party into the equation, how they didn't need to make those large showy pointless mounds of earth that took half a year to construct attracted predators and made you more visible for no good reason the goddamn earth and its holes were enough for they, ants these days were weak and needy showy and lazy, they didn't need no biting other animals, so much poison to carry around with back in the day they were fast enough to scurry away from any kind of threat particularly creatures that were susceptible to minor toxins, kids these days trying to be fancy with their bites. And what about all the colors and shapes they'd chosen for themselves red and blue and black and what not why could they not be happy with one god-given color they had been given learn to be happy with it and go about their way building nests protecting the queen and defending from other colonies, no no they were not satisfied with that kind of achievements at all those damn kids they needed so much more and to what end to be squashed like every other bug after attracting too much attention to yourself. Kids these days. They knew nothing.

It was good back in the day, the golden era of the ants when with their antlers the leaders would instantly detect a food source and take an army of smart strong soldiers and bring back whatever it was, serve the king, give it to the rest of the colony, and live a happy content lives. These days all those goddamn kids needed to go their own way, didn't even want to take their fellow ants with them and when they got lost or needed to call others in their location, had to leave smell signals. Yeah right, if smell signals were so important how had they survived for so many generations without serious loss. You don't need a smell trail if you're smart capable and strong, it's only the weak new ones who can't hold on their own who needed that kind of stupid crap. The enemies could not only detect you more easily because of course these stupid fools hadn't considered that the enemy could smell too, but also trace your steps back into the nest and attack the rest of your colony, endangering the queen. But know, of course they wouldn't listen, because why would they in their minds they were the sharpest smartest tools in the universe.

The old ants were sick of the new ants and their pransy ways, sick to the core, and needed to do something about those. Get the ants to back to the old ways the way god meant it to be without being influenced by other insects only to endanger their existence but also their identity because if ants started dancing and singing around bees what would be the remaining identity of their culture anyway. The antsiness needed to be preserved.ts
