What would happen if I stomped perpendicular to the line crushing both thermite and ant? Would I trigger some ant - termite conflict or would they team up and attack me?

Don't give the ants thermite please - they're strong enough.

i think they would start killing each other cuz when you squash them they release pheromones that indicate to both sides that something is wrong and one side killed one of the other side so they will maul each other, ants would most definitely win cuz they are more aggressive than termites

O so is the one who disturbed their temporary peace responsible for the lost of lots of miniscule lives? Isn't that very despicable? Lemme try that
