    Wait are you telling me y’all actually don’t smell ants? They’re a weird and kinda smell like blue cheese. Definitely the smellier of insects.

      Never in my life has an ant had any smell whatsoever. I was today years old when I realized people could smell ants.

      In fact, I’ll go one step further. I grew up on a farm, tons of bugs. The only bug that I can ever remember smelling are those stupid Asian stink bugs invasive thingies that seem to have proliferated in the northeast US recently. When you squish them, they smell like green apples.

      I can’t think of any other bug that smells at all - even when they are squished.
