Ant ‪@Dailybits4u‬

Now you know what truly organized crime is.
Ants can easily carry off an entire gold chain, as they are capable of lifting objects that weigh hundreds of times more than their own.


WHY do ants move in a chain after each other?

When a scout ant is looking for food, it follows a specific path. And as it returns to the anthill for help, it marks the path with its secretions.
After that, all ants head off to get food, following the trail of the previous scout ant. As a result, the insects follow each other.

Ever seen an ant building a bridge? 🔨🐜

These incredible fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) paved a sticky surface using glass balls to ease navigation on their way to food.
Yet, in laboratory experiments, they only cared to do so if the food bait was within 20 cm.

WHY can some fungi turn ants into zombies?

Some parasites are capable of dramatically altering their host's behavior to achieve their goals, turning it into a zombie.
These include the cordyceps lopsided fungus, which penetrates the ant's body and then somehow forces the insect to follow a place optimal for the parasite's development.
The ant seeks out the plant, climbs to a height of 20-30 cm, finds a leaf with a certain temperature and humidity, and bites into the central vein on the underside of the leaf. The ant then dies and the fungus sprouts from its body.

why ants follow each other ?

it turns out that when ants find food, they secrete an invisible chemical called "trail pheromone" as they return to the next.
this trail leads directly from the nest to the food source. 
otherworker ants then follow the trail right to the food. each worker then reinforces the trail on the way back

The average life expectancy of an ant is about 90 days.
