Or just reward their creativity...
The best DMs will allow it as an immediate reward and remember it for minor consequences later to progress the campaign in some way. "Druid knocked unconscious and taken while eating ants" type stuff
I kind of like the idea of "of course you can! ... Rolls die
You have angered Ancephole, goddess queen of the ants!"
And then you get this cool side adventure where the party has been shrunk down and must escape a hive of sentient ants
Those ants were a druid colony and now you've eaten Neveah....
Honestly, this would be a lot of fun as a campaign. Starts off a normal group, druid played by the dm as a PC. Druid shifts, hijinks ensue, druid dies, and now the rest of the party has to battle their way across an unforgiven, sapient bug populated map, to reach the wizard's house to turn them back. It's only a mile away, but to them at their size, it might as well be the other side of the planet
That's just the plot to Honey I Shrunk the Kids. Depending on how old your group is, it might be nostalgic, or novel.
Similar, but I'm thinking more bugs with cities. Fully sapient.
