@futurebird I've been meaning to ask (and this is a sincere question) what is your stance on anteaters?

With great success comes great haters. Remarkable the whole constellation of ant-dependent creatures that have evolved.

There are the ant birds who travel with army ants eating the insects they scare from the bush, the many many ant mimic spiders, beetles, flies and others, the myrmecologists and of course anteaters.

Although, anteaters often eat as many termites as ants.

**QUESTION: Who eats more termites? Ants or anteaters?**

(Ants eat more ants than anteaters easily.)

I would guess that ants eat very few anteaters.

I’m certain they are working on it.

You know, I know a guy who does these highly realistic paintings of decaying animals in the forest. I know it sounds kind of gruesome, but his whole thing is bringing out the “beauty of decay.” you know how artists are … it’s pretty good.

ANYWAY I have got to convince him to do an anteater being consumed by ants.

everyone will want a copy of that print.

@futurebird @Burn_this_ @sen As the hunter becomes the hunted, so the anteater becomes the anteaten.
