Ants? Whats so scary about ants? As far as bugs are concerned...There is about NOTHING more terrifying than a PRAYING MANTIS! Even as small as they are, what, @4" for a big one?...But, If they got irradiated and mutated?
Try it and see! Put one in a terrarium, drop in a cricket or two, and just watch what happens! Those things are like The Predator had a baby with The Alien!! They sneak up on that unsuspecting cricket, snatch it, and rip it to shreds! Man!
If they mutated into even just 4 feet tall, there would be like NO kids left waiting for the schoolbus! Just a pile of backpacks and cellphones!!
If they got 10 feet tall, You wouldnt be able to drive down to the beer store in nothing less than an Abrams Tank!
You couldnt walk out to the mailbox unless you had Seal team 6 along! Oh Man!
Or those big dragonflies? If they got really really big all of the sudden? No Cessna or Piper would be safe in the skies! Or if Wolf Spiders all of a sudden got as big as a F150? Within a week there wouldnt be a cow or farmer left alive anywhere! Shivvers!
Giant mutated Ants? They aint scary at all!! Hell, you could probably put them to work digging tunnels or hauling tremendous loads of merchandise for Amazon! Free Shipping!
Unless you are a Kettle corn vendor stirring up that sweet melted sugar all the time? With Gigantic unemployed ants running around all over the place?......then yeah...that would probably suck down at the Farmers Market!....
Not physically dangerous though, just a pain getting your gear runt the hell over, your pop-up tent destroyed, and all your bags of sugar and popcorn hauled off without payment...You could probably bash them over the head with your stirring paddle, or give them a blast of fire off the propane cooker, and they will scuttle on over to the guy selling peaches or honey and mess up his table!...
Whats next? "Attack of the Giant Garden Slugs"? or "The Giant Rose Aphid Disaster"? Ants?...I just dont get it?...a big magnifying glass or a healthy spritz of Carb cleaner right in the face makes short work of them!...
