The ants putting dirt on the slug shows a level of problem-solving skills that I would NEVER have expected from them!!! This had to come from a single ant getting an idea to use something to soak up that slime, and either knew dirt was good for the job, or experimented until they found the right material. That, or some saw the benefit of it having happened by accident, understood what had happened well enough to want to employ that method again (which also shows planning ahead), and reproduced the conditions. Either way, that is some kind of impressive behavior for such a small-brained creature. So wild... wow!

Despite them being such simple creatures at their core, Ants are some of the most amazing insects out there. They can perform agriculture, keep livestock, work in symbiosis with countless other species of insect, wage wars, establish borders... and even adapt to handle almost anything they come across. And yet I still get surprised, I had no idea that some species produce "Kings", or that some ants can revolt against unsatisfactory queens. Billions of these tiny, simple insects working together to perform such complex and almost humanlike tasks, and they're so tiny that this happens all around us without us even noticing. (Or them really noticing us!)

[@y_fam_goeglyd]

These clips are fascinating, and somewhat creepy in parts. But I've learned to thoroughly appreciate them over the last couple of years. There's a channel called Ants Canada and the guy whose channel it is, is a real expert in the subject. He raises colonies from a single queen. Those first eggs (in the first video) become "nanitics", and they're smaller and shorter-lived than the future generations. But they're the ones raised by the queen, who turns the muscle tissue from where her wings were attached into a sort of soup for the larvae. She won't eat anything until the nanitics can fetch food themselves. The channel's owner is so dedicated to ants that he's having a house built with a two-storey "ant room" in it! If you like ants, I thoroughly recommend you go watch him.

I once encountered an ant war between larger brown ants and smaller brown ants, it’s so brutal as the smaller ants fought courageously to fend off the invaders, but to no avail. They were rooted out from their nest and dismembered, with heads and limbs littering the ground around the nest. It’s sad to watch but that’s nature. Another thing is spiders waylaying underneath pebbles along the ant path; the spiders would dash out and rapidly tie the victim ant up with silk into a bundle…

That is the end of the documentary, perhaps it is reference to something else in the video. Google "natural world empire of the desert ants" and the full documentary will be the first result.

Would love an explanation as to the birthing of male Driver ants and their leaving the best since it seems they live solitary lives before finding a colony to breed the queen within. I’m guessing they weren’t as big and were able to fly out of the nest and grew to such a size later in life.

If youre still interested: Basically, male ants also known as drones are actually born from unfertilized eggs, the fertilized eggs will always be female
