Wait are you telling me y’all actually don’t smell ants? They’re a weird and kinda smell like blue cheese. Definitely the smellier of insects.

The only time I've smelt ants is when they get crushed. Are you telling me you could smell an ant trail just by walking into a room?

Are you telling me that if you step on an ant and crush it, you can smell it?! Wtf is going on in this thread??

I mean, I don't think I can smell them as described, but crushed I can clearly smell the formic acid.
