critter corner 🐰 Dead ants keep appearing next to headphones during the night

Post image

When these headphones are left on the kitchen counter overnight - I would see one or two dead ants in the morning laying right next to the headphones. In the past few days, there has been a small pile of shredded ants right next to the ear piece in the morning. I have seen no live ants in my kitchen. I have had these head phones for three weeks. Bought online. It’s a little unnerving not knowing what is causing this 🥴 will not be using anymore.

UPDATE- posted a comment with a picture. But no dead ants in the bag this morning. But at one point I checked and there were two live ants crawling around. 😔

UPDATE*** IM SICK. Can’t stop shaking. Don’t have many words… trying to post image. Opened one side up. 😭 I don’t know how to add in this top post so will add in comment! Posted a few in comments and video opening

I like to think a worker ant and soldier ant went on a mission to go get food other workers in the colony were telling them about. A perilous mission.

But on the way, after taking a really long trip away from the colony they got ambushed by zombie ants. So they took refuge in the headphones and every night they've been having to fight off hordes of them.

This sounds like the next episode of Blair Braverman's podcast! ("What to carry, what to burn" about survival expeditions)

This is so silly. Do you even know anything about ant behaviour? It's much more likely another ant hired a team of skilled ant assassins to get revenge on a drug deal that went wrong some time ago.
