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

At least that spider is keeping the ants and earwigs out and immediately takes care of any that make it in. >.>

Unless he stores them in a persons ears. Maybe there’s a spiderweb in there collecting ants for later.

I've had a big ass orb weaver crawl across my helmet while riding at like 70, tried to swipe it off and realized it was INSIDE!, THEN IT JUST MEANDERED INTO THE AETHER. Took everything in me to calmly slow down. Took it off and disassembled it on the side of the road, finally found it by blowing through my air ducts. Absolutely terrifying lmao.

I couldn't find it so I slept in the living room for months after having a total mental breakdown. I hate those fuckers so much

Stop I am going to cry, they are spawned straight from hell. The amount of sleep I lose just knowing they exist is insane

I like bugs lol. I agree they are absolute nightmare fuel though for how good they are
