I think a living human who smelled like a rotting corpse would be forced to go away from other people too.

"Ed Wilson"
More commonly known as E. O. Wilson in his publications. Highly important scientist. Postulated that humans are eusocial creatures similar to ants, termites, seahorses, and naked mole rats because we follow a hierarchical pecking order.
Read his book "The Social Conquest of Earth" if this intrigues you.
Postulated that humans are eusocial creatures similar to ants, termites, seahorses, and naked mole rats because we follow a hierarchical pecking order.
Source? Eusociality does not involve any sort of 'hierarchical pecking order'. The requirements are co-operative childcare, overlapping generations and division of labour.
The source is racism: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-complicated-legacy-of-e-o-wilson/
Never meet your heroes, huh?

"I swear I'm not dead!"
"Yea we don't care, you smell dead and it's disgusting, leave until you take a bath"
E.O. Wilson is a monster scientist. His book "The Ants" is mind-bogglingly thorough
Also, Social Conquest of Earth.

I wonder what will happen if they put that chemical into an insecticide spray.
Ants coming to bring you more dead ants. You will be the evil ant god.

why doesn't the ant that was sprayed on carry itself away.
It would be inappropriate for a dead ant to move.
They must ~~rest~~ live in peace.
Moving means partly alive, but partly alive means mostly dead, so off you go!
fist time in earth history to get a day off
What the hell happened to the ant? My god I dislike cliffhangers.
It says at the end. It hung out in the graveyard, then went back to work.
So It was all a convoluted plan to take a few days off, what a slacker!
