Great camouflage. Carrying a sack of dozens dead ants on your back does not draw attention at all.

Ants "see" mostly by smells. This would probably smell like another ant and thus wouldn't be bothered.

I guess spiders don't want to eat a pile of dead ants, even if it's moving. Not the sharpest tools in the shed, spiders.

Camouflage through intimidation. If you saw a dude sneaking around covered in human skulls, no you didn't.
