More biological warfare from China. Just like what they tried to pull at the University of Michigan
Gives "ants in your pants" a whole new meaning.
I want to know more, where they in a plastic ant farm box? Were they natives of Africa or from China? Were they weird ants or just regular ones.
Josephbleau, they are in capsules. One ant each.
they are in capsules. One ant each
He was going to mule them in his colon.
Bell Labs' Distinguished Member of Staff award looked like an ant farm when shown being awarded in the company paper, when that idea came out.
One ant in each capsule is just a Mexican jumping bean.
Why the hell are the Chinese smuggling organic chaos into everywhere?!
I’m tired of these MF ants on this MF plane!
Perhaps to introduce invasive species to disrupt foreign ecosystems (e.g., damage crops), or to obtain samples of scent marking chemicals and toxins for research (e.g., see COVID-19 and batwoman).
Still, the Chinese do have Traditional Chinese Medicine and quackery such as consuming lion bones. They also have a collector culture that values rarity.
from the vid:
- from Kenya, headed to China
- no mention of queens, so where is the growth angle?
- weird.
Grok said they are queen garden ants, sold for between $100-200 each retail for collectors because people like to watch them store seeds in their glass nests. He was taking them from Africa to China for sale and the reason for prosecution was the large number of these sales could alter the local populations
