''Nothing is wasted..''

[@barbiquearea]

Its just like how male prayer mantises are eaten by their partners after impregnating them.

[@KilroyWasHere1941]

Or how females of particular spider species literally eat the male while they are mating, though this is done on purpose by the males. If the male mates with a female to the point of being consumed by her, he has more time to release his seed and thus have a higher chance of having more offspring. This also translates to the female having more nutrition and thus more likely to survive and be fit to birth and care for more spiderlings. However if he mates with her for only a short period of time he is most likely to survive mating and not being eaten, however this comes at the cost of them being less likely to father children(never mind a large amount of them).

People always wonder how such a complex process could be programmed evolutionairly into their DNA. But the thing is, these ants have gone through thousands of reproductive cycles during the time that we're alive... each time this happens there are considerably more male ants which never make it into the hole, either because they didn't clip their wings or they didn't find the nest properly or whatever. The programming gets smarter and smarter and you end up with this extremely complex behavior. It's really quite amazing and hard to grasp with our minds!

We humans are so stupid ...we don't take lesson nature gives us .. here it tells us that we will have to pay for such things dearly if done illegally like adultery/ fornication etc..

Damn nature, you scary! ....and crazy!

“What did it cost ?” “Every-wing”

I'm disturbed by this level of detail, it's the sound. The social hierarchy is so fascinating

Queen: What is your purpose here? Flying Ant: Chakalakalaka in youuuuu.

[@mrx4022]

Ants: *"Halt! Who dares try to enter the nest!"* Male: *"I bring offerings for the Queen. I hope to become consort."* Ants: *"Very well. We will take you to the Royal Chamber, but first, you must pay the toll."* Male: *"That's fine. To show I'm worthy, I take my wings myself."* Ants: *"Follow us, we will take you to the Queen."* *(Royal Chamber)* Queen: *"Who is this you've brought into my chamber?"* Ants: *"A consort for the Queen, we have brought to you, your majesty."* Male: *"My lady, I have travelled far and wide over land and water to reach you."* Queen: *"I am impressed. Very well, you may proceed." ----- Queen: *"You must have brought with you the knowledge that you will not leave here alive?"* Male: *"I know. And I accept that."* Queen: *"Then begone from my Chamber. My son's and daughters hunger still."*
