To me, the first should be ants, they’re practically everywhere and there’s a lot of them
The ants will not listen. The ants will show no mercy.
Ants. There’s millions of ants per 1 person.
Mosquitoes. If they were organised and had a goal, they could destroy humans. Imagine if they all line up to suck from someone with loads of diseases to get some viral load and then go and seek out people in positions of power to infect.
Honestly, I’m going to go with spiders. I love spiders, and the fact that I can have an army of Hobos, Fiddlebacks (Brown Recluse), Redbacks, Mouse, and Funnelwebs, that people are already naturally are terrified of but also regularly prey on other insects? Yes please! Plus, it would mean all the jumpers would be my buddies! Precious little fluffy babies<3
A close second is wasps, but that’s only because wasps species make up 1/3 of all insect species out there.
Anyone who was privileged to read animorphs knows that the correct answer is whatever ensures that ants remain uninvolved.
Beetles. 25% of species we’ve discovered are beetles.
British evolutionary biologist and geneticist J.B.S. Haldane quipped that if a god or divine being had created all living organisms on Earth, then that creator must have an “inordinate fondness for beetles.”
God has beetles backs, so we get beetles on our side, we get God on our side.
Beetle’s aren’t a species, they’re an order (coleoptera). There’s still the family & genus between that and an actual species.
