If so, I think I'm going to change my name to SOUL SLAYER
I just wiped out about a million of those little suckers. (a mere pittance, given the estimated world ant population of 10,000 trillion).
There goes another one !

I'm going genocidal on a yellow jacket's nest this very afternoon.
No judgement. No hate. Just business.
I heart outdoor BBQs.

Of course they have a soul.

I think they may have a collective soul. At least that's what I tell myself when they violate our treaty and I kill them.

They quite possibly do which would make them different from humans.

The Hopi's believed that the ants took humans underground to save them from cataclysmic events.
Like humans, if someone believes they have a soul than I guess they do.

I'm all about endemic species which is why I'm down on the aggressive
Peronist Argentines which have totally colonized the whole West Coast.

PETA just sent me a letter stating that if I don't cease and desist the massacre they are going to protest in front of my house.
The CBD is filing a lawsuit trying to close nearby Malibu Creek to climbing in order to protect the Argentine ant (Linepithema humile).
It seems there are less than 735,000,000,000 of these creatures left roaming this SoCal climbing area.
They are concerned that climbers are peeing in ant holes for sport and wiping out hundreds of colonies (over the last 65 years).

That would be quite a few souls if all those zeros mean something.

I don't know if ants have a soul, but you can play it safe by being kind to them
Too late...they should have stayed outside. The cat stays inside, so the lines are clear. When they came inside to eat the cat's food, he became very upset. They died. Sucks to be them...or at least it used to.

Interesting question. Anyone know of a link to buy
Soul Detector Kits? Thought they would be sold near
the pregnancy test kits but no luck.

SB, since I always try to err on the side of swift justice when dealing
with six-legged hegemonists I'm OK, aren't I?
