One person in the comments wrote, "No, just imagine if they were the size of a dog. They would be faster and stronger than almost any animal." Another person said, "Thank you for ruining ants. I thought they looked cute. Now I'm terrified." Someone even said, "The fact I can crush that with the tip of my finger just makes you rethink everything." "How something that looks so innocent can be zoomed in to evil," added a fourth.
