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
Druids shouldn’t be engaging in diplomacy anyway. Most of the druids I’ve known, thought that diplomacy = “destroy all cities and allow the forest to grow you humanoid bastards!”

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
Pretty sure ants are already sentient, but I like it.
Edit: apparently ant sentience is somewhat hotly debated, and the current understanding of ant consciousness and metacognition is murky.
“Sure you can.” Later on the druid fails a diplomacy check because they’ve got an ant stuck between their teeth.
