I got in a pretty bad arguemnt with a lepidopterist once and he said that I was "just spewing pro-ant propaganda"
and that was the funniest thing I've ever been called so I changed my handle to myrmepropagandist.
I mean "pro-ant" like we all need to take a stance on ants. (Like there was any other possible correct stance to take. If you're anti-ant you're just ... nothing. )
@futurebird Is there a butterfly v ant war I don’t know about?
@futurebird @owlislost Although I have a soft spot for ants, I think I'm rooting for the butterfly in this case. That kind of specialization leads to a precarious existance, and it wouldn't take much to disrupt their lifecycle beyond recovery. Loss of diversity is a concern, even if it's a vile cuckoo caterpillar.
