I’m terrified of my ants larva!

When I got my new macro lens I checked out my queen... she had a medium larva and it was moving around a lot. I suddenly got terrified and never want to check on her. I’ve always had a secret fear of worms but that larva just took the cake. Also the larva can’t last 5 seconds withought the ant feeding it. When she is gone looking at the others the larva moves around and demands food. I am completely and utterly afraid.

Ok.... well have fun with that. I'm not sure how to help you there... :lol:
Proverbs 6:6-8

Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.

AntsCanada compares his Black Panther larvae to "rabid meat eating worms". They tore at a cockroach leg with mouths wide open and literally lunged at the leg over and over again. Even I though it was a little gross. So there are a lot of ant larvae that act a lot grosser than yours does.
