@verm1c1de I ACTUALLY might be able to explain antennae lol so ants use their antennae to "smell" pheromones because their eyesight is actually pretty piss poor for the most part

irkens having shorter antennae could be the result of a few things but i think it could be because of their well developed eyesight...being bipedal or at least not quadruped could also mean they were more visual/tactile in communication rather than basing it on scent

i think very very very early irken ancestors would have had long antennae but as their eyesight developed it just got shorter over time because it was not necessary + gave predators something to grab easily...

#me when i take one animal behavior course #also the aversion to meat it makes sense zim loves sugary sweets because so do ants but they probably had a diet consisting of fruit #im basing it off of ants SORREY but it makes so much sense to me #especially comparing them to humans they would have had to be very social creatures to survive past the early stages #like they r basically humans but if we came from colony insects instead of primates
