I would consider it a bad impression to spit acid at somebody the first time you meet.

Would it be possible to have the armour inside the body as a liquid, and can be pumped to the surface and solidified when needed?

Also, even a single filament is TWO TIMES BIGGER than an ant!

WTF?
unless it is mm and not cm...

Grow more (dig or search troughout anthill to find some insects to eat, and thus grow moar filaments. try doubling or even tripling their numbers. We need them for evolving (you guys are spending so much of these than we shrunk to one third our max size...)

Be reactive.  Wait for the other thing to make the first move.  If it's friendly or docile, leave it alone.  If it's hostile, shoot acid at its eyes.

yes, you are bigger than ants. but this thing is bigger.

> avoid detection

(so basically, it's a sort of camouflage/detach pieces if damaged/better weight distribution thing?)

You quiver and start digging a little bit down, that should suffice to avoid the problem.
Hibernation mode activate.
you then stop moving, using the terrible killswitch.
You slumber into a complete catatonic state and close everything else off.
Stop moving. When it comes through, try to dissolve it with acid.
you feel the thing moving past you, on top of you...and that's when you jump up from down below spitting acid at the monster belly
it's at least 12 centimeters, but you quickly tear apart the already dissolved furred skin. You quickly consume the thing from inside out, and when you finish, rejoice! filaments!
+12 filaments +141 food

Would it be possible to have the armour inside the body as a liquid, and can be pumped to the surface and solidified when needed?

it would require rearrangement, and energy. and you'd have to use some filaments. But principally, yes, you'd need more energy.

you start moving around searching vibration, going backwards the way the thing came by, and you reach a place where there four to five smaller vibrations, all moving like in a...nest? but the ants had the "nest" thing still! this ones are moving! you are a little puzzled. But when one of the buggers get to close, you eat him. And realize they are yummy. So you proceed with the others too.
Only then do you realize that you could have maybe stopped to ask something...but you wonder if they knew the Ant-speak.
not that it matters now.
+24 filaments +280 food (four nice mole puppies were killed today, be sad ç_ç)

you have far more food than needed...time to do something with it!

Get a little stronger and smarter. Keep digging around until we are far away, or find more stuff to eat, and consume.

Wait, we're a hivemind right? Can we make ants using our filaments, or do we have to capture them?

Maybe it's possible to spawn ant-like beings?  We have encountered, assimilated, and devoured them after all.

use a few filaments to get an organ able to lay eggs genetically engineered. Lay some eggs wich give ant-like creature programmed to follow you, protect you, obey every one of your orders without hesitation, and bring you food

Yes, soon we shall become a proper hive mind instead of some sort of weird, acid spitting insectoid.

Do what they say, and dig a hole in the ground and hide. Snag any animal that comes nearby and eat them. Unless it's like a bear. Then acid.
