Announcing @hivefleetbothan ‘s Amazing Ant Giveaway! [ENDED]

I know this is kind of cheating, but Magic School Bus taught me some cool stuff about ants when I was a kid, and I always saw them a little more fondly after that.

I’d like to enter for everything except for Garry’s Mod if that’s okay :slight_smile: if it’s easier to keep track of I can list everything out.

So, when I was a kid, I decided to play with some ants and it was not nice because… they were trap-jaw ants :ant::confounded:

This giveaway reminded ne of the tragic story of ant simulator…

Anyways biology great because creatures adapt in such amazing ways. Like the fungus that takes over its prey to spread itself or the capybara, which are friend shaped.

Thanks for this!

I would like to enter for Garry’s Mod, Kingdom New Lands And Orcs Must Die 2!

Also, ants are life!!!

Here’s My Faviourite Article On Fire Ants!

Fire Ants: The bodies of mature fire ants, like the bodies of all typical mature insects, are divided into three sections: the head, the thorax, and the abdomen, with three pairs of legs and a pair of antennae. Fire ants of those species invasive in the United States can be distinguished from other ants locally present by their copper brown head and body with a darker abdomen. The worker ants are blackish to reddish and their size varies from 2 to 6 mm (0.079 to 0.236 in). In an established nest these different sizes of ants all are present at the same time.

I’d like to enter for Kingdom New lands, cause the Classic edition is alright, but it has some flaws that I believe the updated version ironed out.

I think you should disqualify anyone who doesn’t post a pic of an actual ant :3
I looked up more Cephalotes :smiley:

Happy everyone is enjoying this chance to see some cool ants!

There are Roughly 2 days remaining in the giveaway.

Time For Some Shameless Self Promotion

These games all came from the expansive ‘extra steam keys’ library I have, leftovers from reckless humblebundle purchases in my past, plus whatever my little worker ants pick up and bring to me.

If you are looking for something I have a list of them available on the Chrono community forums and would be delighted to trade away some of my excess games for some of yours!

That was actually a really nice read. Thanks for those cool facts @hivefleetbothan .

I became quite fascinated by your fact about replete workers within an ant colony and hence spent some time reading up about them. So here’s a picture of another one. :slight_smile:

Ah, if I am not mistaken that is a honeypot ant, the most famous example of repletes in a colony.
