To me, the first should be ants, they’re practically everywhere and there’s a lot of them

    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.

      Even without being organised, they are atil by far the biggest killer of humans.

      Like by a factor of millions. Mosquitos are a flying genocide historically.

    Ants can make us their slaves if we do not cooperate. They have the largest colonies and are the most organized. However, they have clans and problems just like humans now.

    Bees or ants. They are capable of building infrastructure, listen to command, and hate wasps and I don’t want to side with wasps.

    In the UK we call them daddy long legs, I don’t know what they would be called in the US - though I think it might be horseflies(?). Anyway I was told at School that IF they could break human skin, they would be deadly to us - but they haven’t evolved that ability - yet. So I think they would be who I would befriend first - just in case.

    Either, ants would destroy us, or theyd be glued to social media and started infighting for completely arbitrary reasons

    ants. they can farm, tend livestock (aphids), know complex engineering, have distinct castes that have evolved to perform specific jobs, and there’s untold trillions of them. sure, bees create honey - but so do ants. wasps are crazy dangerous - but so are ants.

    ants/humans vs scorpions/spiders - the war to end all wars.
