I have decided that ants are extremely cool.
I went outside to read a book. A bunch of earwigs fell off the redwood yard furniture when I shook them out. I stomped on dozens of earwigs. I then sat down to read my book, and within 10 minutes, reddish-brown ants were already hauling off the earwig carcasses. It was very cool. I did not have to hose-off the porch. The red ant raise hell with problem insects.
Big black carpenter ants eat dead wood and brush in the forest. They don't bite me. The turn potential forest fire fuel into mulch.
Little black ants are pretty much useless, but again, they don't bite and are relatively clean. The present no real problem. They like to come in the house, but can be controlled with a mixture of pancake syrup and 5% boric acid.
Ants are much nicer than black widows, jumping spiders, flies, mosquitos, earwigs, centipedes, silverfish, pine borers, assassin bugs, gnats, jerusalem crickets, daddy long legs, pseudo-scorpions, etc, etc, etc, ..........................................
