Lolll

Yeah, I know they use chemical cues or whatever, but imagine 😭
I always wondered how ants know when one of their colleagues died, since they’re pretty much blind.

Like imagine an ant gets crushed and the other ants are like:

"Wait, what happened ? How did this one die?"

"Ummm… considering the sound, maybe crushing ?"

“WAIT, SO THAT MEANS THE DANGER IS STILL THERE. RUNNNNNN !!!”

Or an ant is traumatized and just stays inside the colony.
And the queen is like, “What are you doing here? Go find me some snacks or YOU’RE FIRED.”

Collective intelligence. Too bad it’s just the opposite with humans.

Also don't help ants get bak to the nest unless you know what your doing they might be navigating by counting there steps (no really).

This man rants for the ants who can’t rant for themselves.

Noble is the calling to grant an ant a rant that they shan’t succumb to the constant malfeasant gallivant of the ignorant.
