[https://www.odditycentral.com/news/door-head-ants-use-their-large-flat-heads-as-doors-to-shut-down-their-nests.html](Here is a short article on them.) According to the article, they stand their ground, even while their head is under attack. Pretty neat ants!
Interestingly, turtle ants aren’t in door-mode at all times. You can see the entrance to their nests open, but as soon as they sense danger, be it a top on the wooden wall of their tunnel, or pheromones of an enemy, the door is immediately plugged shut.
"Look I clearly ordered a circular frame with a 0,3 diameter. What the hell am I supposed to do with this "doorframe" monstrosity?
It's bigger than the tree itself for crying out loud, let alone it being a square! Wtf!?"

Sounds great, no room for existential doubt, no parents being disappointed in you, you are a door. It is a great privilege to be the doorman

Being a Door can seem deceptively easy. You have one job. What if you let the wrong person in??

We don't know for sure that they appreciate his contribution. Probably there are Karen ants complaining that it's still a little drafty.

That's not bad as long everyone gets the same share. If you are just the door and get less than it gets to be a problem.
ivanafterall@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 17d
The other doors are lazy asses, so I end up dooring all the time.
