If you could verbally speak (in your preferred language) with any species still living on Earth, which species would you choose to communicate with?

Ants in Gaelic.

They’re ubiquitous
They have a very different lifestyle, so would be super interesting to talk to
They eat all sorts of things, can get anywhere, and can fuck up electronics. Seems like a nice friend to have…
They are warlike and territorial, so I’m hoping for some leeway in terms of judgment for what humans have done to the planet.

Gaelic because whimsy

Hmm seems smart but I mean I’d rather I only run the risk of saying the wrong thing to a species that’s largely solitary or at least doesn’t live in really big groups that engage in organised warfare. If I piss off one cat that’s hopefully not as big a deal as pissing off a whole super colony of ants.
