"hearty amount of jam"
Annnnnd now I have slugs and ants.
Put cinnamon around the outer wall and ants will stay out. Not sure what it does to slugs though.
Great, now half my kitchen cabinet is poured onto the floor
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.
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.
They now have enough salt to wage war on the slugs, the slugs win will be temporary until the ants weaponize the salt.

An informal term for minibeasts of all types.
