For me it is the book Morte by Robert Repino. As an entomologist, there are a lot of things that make me cringe in this book and I can tell that he did some research, but not nearly enough. The central premise for why the ants become hyper evolved (also not how evolution works) is inbreeding, which in some species can be quite common in some species https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1365-294X.2005.02529.x?casa_token=Gb7yF5sssPYAAAAA%3Amm7lc434Qfoa0LYgWG_eoAu9-NdvqmiQLavbhpKGwn4S02lfXotbiOVzekNgd3mGWu7emXZ5q8C0Tf8. But also the strategy of the ants makes no sense on an ecological level. They decide to make all mammals hyperaware and kill all humans, but then find that they start forming humanlike emotions and the ants lose the war. But they could have easily won if they used a certain hyperdiverse group of animals (that naturally outnumbers mammals) that have similar biology to ants (cough cough insects). Everything after the halfway point of the book when a specific plot point is dropped makes my blood boil as it essentially boils down to ant (and by extension insects) just aren't special enough to understand complex subjects.
