  • I’ve seen these and they are not ants and I don’t believe they’re larvae.

    They are not ants because their body shape and legs shape don’t conform to typical ant morphology, and also they don’t behave like ants. They resemble miniature termites and behave more like silverfish or cockroaches, although they are clearly neither of those.

    They are not larvae because they do have legs and move (relatively ) quite fast. I’ve never seen other insects of a similar size and shape which could be the adult form nearby. I’ve no idea what kind of bug they are though, I’ll be following this post in case someone has an answer.









  • That surely is a thing on platforms but I don’t think that’s the case here. I don’t think you have new user restrictions on AS, and even if you did you don’t need to ask about purchasing to achieve that goal. You might as well just send a short generic message saying how cool my work is and how much you like it and leave it at that. There is clearly a hook in my case scenario prompting the recipient to reply, + ambiguous business, and this in turn increases the risk of someone reporting their account. Why risk it if you don’t even need a reply in the first place?
