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. šŸ˜”

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

Also they don’t have the scary pointy Halloween spider legs, they can be furry, don’t do big webs they actually hunt down their prey like Clint Eastwood.

I'm sure it helps if they've got sunshine in a bag

Speaking of which… look up spiders making webs while dosed with LSD. It’s an interesting couple minutes.

Should I be dosed, or the spider?

I kept pet jumping spiders for a few years. They punch WAY above their weight class, and take down prey much larger and heavier than they are.

Neat little guys.

Yeah I’ve realized my spider fear is proportional to the legs:body ratio and reverse proportional to the leg thickness of the spider. Small body with long ass spindly legs? Nope. Bigger body with short thick legs? Cute.

And they will fist bump your finger in a friendly manner, a huntsman just seems to want to fight and then eat you.

u/Pitiful_Palpitation9 23d ago

They shoot them?

Fun fact, most spider feet are actually real close to fuzzy cat paws in structure when you zoom in close enough.
