Slug diplomat makes agreement with ant diplomat.
Ants carry away salt.
Slugs share jam.
OP unwittingly made bug super alliance.
but what's in it for the Ants? They do all the work and have to share their bounty.
They now have enough salt to wage war on the slugs, the slugs win will be temporary until the ants weaponize the salt.
It’s classic slug politics where they throw their weight around on the international stage.
This is classic short-sighted ant-centrism. With no slugs in the region, the local supply of salt and jam will collapse. While the slugs do benefit more from the deal, ants should not use that as an excuse to make demands of their allies.
Arachnids can definitely be bugs in my book, but I had never considered mollusks before!
An informal term for minibeasts of all types.
