To me, the first should be ants, they're practically everywhere and there's a lot of them

Bees or ants. They are capable of building infrastructure, listen to command, and hate wasps and I don’t want to side with wasps.

Ants are crazy. I'm currently battling carpenter ants, and quite frankly, it's obviously a losing battle.

Yes, we should develop mini rifles for the bees so they can kill those bastards

The ants will not listen. The ants will show no mercy.

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.

In 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.

The idea that daddy longlegs are highly venomous and just unable to pierce human skin is an urban myth and has no basis in reality. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/daddy-longlegs/

Praying mantises because have you seen them?

Ants can make us their slaves if we do not cooperate. They have the largest colonies and are the most organized. However, they have clans and problems just like humans now.
