Hey, I’ve been thinking about how ant colonies actually make every member perform their role with such precision—maybe there’s something in that structure we could translate into a character’s life story. What’s the weirdest beetle you’ve logged in your spreadsheet?

Sounds like you’re hunting for the ultimate “quick‑fire” scene—ants can’t exactly hurl hot chemicals, but maybe they can adopt a more stubborn, “don’t let them get close” attitude. Just don’t let the beetle’s flashy defense distract you from the quiet power of staying still and letting the predator walk right past.
