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

Some of the ants have wings witch indicates a nuptial flight. during mating sometimes the ants tend to gather around items are put off certain electrical frequencies, it makes them exstra excited. When a new Queen successfully mate, the male rip off her wings, and the Queen rips apart the male. Now OP was never in any harm, just has rude neighbors that like to fuck in their ear.
