futurebird OP , 3 months ago @angelastella ants can fly sometimes. In particular even worker turtle ants are expert gliders: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YFt2L2GOMg and queens have wings... But more to the point I think the nature of air, and falling is very different at ant-scale... and you can walk up walls and ceilings... It's a whole different physical reality. Not to mention to know what it would be like to be part of a colony.
