So you can better describe the ants you see here are some common descriptive words for the exoskeletons of ants:

striate - many parallel grooves
tuberculate - little protrusions covering the surface
reticulate - split into irregular cells
glabrous - smooth
punctate/foveolate - covered in little round depressions
rugulose - wrinkled
pilosity - the degree of pilosity refers to how hairy the ant is
reclinate hairs - hairs that lay flat
tomentum - wooly hairs
clavate hairs - club-shaped hairs

1000 richest people are approched. "The end of the world is here. Time to go to your doomsday bunker", they are told. The billionaires nodded. They knew this was coming. They were prepared.

So they gathered their loved ones and locked themselves in luxury bunkers. No contact to outside world.

10 years later they emerge. The world has healed. The air is breathable, people are happy. "What was the catastrophy?" they ask the first person they meet.

She screams: "THEY GOT OUT!!!"
