Gamergate (ant) (en.m.wikipedia.org)
submitted 11 months ago by sourquincelog@hexbear.net to c/earth@hexbear.net

Was reading about guarana, which led me down the wiki hole to "bullet ants", and then to gamergate ants.

A gamergate (/ˈɡæmərˌɡeɪt/ GAMM-ər-gayt) is a mated worker ant that can reproduce sexually, i.e., lay fertilized eggs that will develop as females.

I don't have anything useful to contribute, just thought it was kinda funny
