Unless I'm mistaken, I'm fairly certain the question "where does your lap go when you stand up?" was answered in the book "Do Ants Have Arseholes?", or maybe it was in the sequel "Do Bats Have Bollocks?" but safe to say, somebody already asked, and someone else already answered.
Fairly sure ants have arseholes... Or do they? Are their lives so short that they don't need them? Mayflys only live a day or so. They probably don't need an arsehole. Maybe they just have a rudimentary arsehole, like the wisdom teeth and appendix in humans. We don't really need them anymore, but some people still have them.
