Great camouflage. Carrying a sack of dozens dead ants on your back does not draw attention at all.

Camouflage through intimidation. If you saw a dude sneaking around covered in human skulls, no you didn't.

I didn’t indeed. You got a point there.

Like that guy who walked in on Batman and was just like.....nope.

I guess spiders don't want to eat a pile of dead ants, even if it's moving. Not the sharpest tools in the shed, spiders.

Ants "see" mostly by smells. This would probably smell like another ant and thus wouldn't be bothered.
