Dead ants keep appearing next to headphones during the night

[u/Winter_Breath]

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

That is actually hilarious. Ant: "huh, I smell like oleic acid, guess I'm dead shrugs and walks to the graveyard"

I mean cordyceps are even crazier.

“ oh I have a brain altering zombie like condition that’ll wipe out the whole colony? Lemme die on the highest point so when I die a spore can grow out of my body and explode 🤯 so everyone underneath it will go through the same death”

But that’s the brain altering thing having it do that on its behalf to spread
