What do you think would be a more compelling sight to behold from the scale of an ant?

I'd probably die but I would like to be in a garden

It will be a great sight, while a ladybug sucks the fluids out of your body

Personally, I plan on being taken over by the cordyceps fungus, which will instruct me to go to a warm, wet place in order to grow its spores, then burst through me and kill me as the fungus eats my body.

A hell of a way to go out

The first time i saw a documentary about this as a kid, with plenty of footage of poor Insects seeking high places, climbing to the top and burst those spores in the air in order to disperse them as far as possible, i was unable to sleep.

I just couldn't wrap my head around the whole ordeal and the kind of power such a fungus has.

I know, they are unable to do this to bigger animals ( for reasons i don't remember ), but for how long? If evolution taught me something, it's that it finds a fucking way or/and a way to fuck.
