KurumatronAnimals and insects suddenly are as smart as humans, which species should we try to befriend first before a world war between species occur?
moeggzBees or ants. They are capable of building infrastructure, listen to command, and hate wasps and I don’t want to side with wasps.
Yes, we should develop mini rifles for the bees so they can kill those bastards
neo (he/him)lets make Tiny BeeZookas

Carbeens.
MiddleWeighAnts are crazy. I'm currently battling carpenter ants, and quite frankly, it's obviously a losing battle.
You ever read children of time? I'm definitely going with the spiders.
Came here for spiders. I was always afraid of spiders when I was younger, but now I marvel at them. I get huge orb weavers on my deck in summer. I love watching them meticulously spin their spin and wait, static, floating on glass threads.
Praying mantises because have you seen them?
Ants. There's millions of ants per 1 person.
Beetles. 25% of species we've discovered are beetles.
British evolutionary biologist and geneticist J.B.S. Haldane quipped that if a god or divine being had created all living organisms on Earth, then that creator must have an “inordinate fondness for beetles.”
God has beetles backs, so we get beetles on our side, we get God on our side.
saplyngWe'll have the power of God and Beetles on our side, truly an unstoppable combination!
Beetle's aren't a species, they're an order (coleoptera). There's still the family & genus between that and an actual species.
That's not possible so i have no answer.
SuiXi3DSo why comment...?
Mosquitoes. If they were organised and had a goal, they could destroy humans. Imagine if they all line up to suck from someone with loads of diseases to get some viral load and then go and seek out people in positions of power to infect.
asjmcguireIn the UK we call them daddy long legs, I don't know what they would be called in the US - though I think it might be horseflies(?). Anyway I was told at School that IF they could break human skin, they would be deadly to us - but they haven't evolved that ability - yet. So I think they would be who I would befriend first - just in case.
Anyone who was privileged to read animorphs knows that the correct answer is whatever ensures that ants remain uninvolved.
