Anyone notice how they started using the sand to make a grave yard and bury the dead ones I just found that really cool that it shows how similar we are.

[@willothewisp2980]

That's just where they store their trash to keep a clean nest and get rid of the sand they're taking out. They don't usually 'bury' their dead, just discard them with the rest of the garbage the colony makes away from the nest so it doesn't draw in predators ^^

[@gatsbietheweirdo9403]

@@willothewisp2980 are you sure mine bury the dead in sand but they passed away already rip I let some workers free after the queens died and I’m pretty sure they repopulated somehow because I’m seeing them again

[@willothewisp2980]

@@gatsbietheweirdo9403 Some species keep their trash inside the nest, but most just dump it outside. If they do bury it it's probably by coincidence lol Also depending on the species, I would doubt that since they need a queen to repopulate or they just die out naturally

[@brandonhohn245]

@@arkdraellhelldrake4079 I don't really think that's typically what happens, but what it could be is that the ants were a kind of ant that uses something called a gamma-gate, which basically means that when a queen dies, the most dominant worker ant assumes the responsibility of the queen and becomes one as well as multitasking as a worker.

I find it fascinating that you can see where they put all the dead ones. (Bottom right) incase anyone didn’t know ants release a hormone when they die which means other ants know they’re dead and put them in basically an ant graveyard. I saw an experiment where someone put the hormone on an alive ant and it took itself to the graveyard (once the hormone was gone it returned to doing alive ant stuff dw)

[@romanino]

It is very important to notice that they actually stopped digging once they reached the desired goal. That's impressive IMHO... If there were humans they kept on digging till they had no sand left at all but just a big empty sandbox.

[@daltonbrasier5491]

Why do you think humans would dig until there is no sand?

@King of The Zinger it seems like both of you are projecting your failures on to other people.

[@spiderdude2099]

You can see the dump/graveyard they built on the right. This is actually a common feature of most anthills, they need a place far from the colony to dispose of dead bodies and trash. Keeping such a thing too close to a healthy colony can spread disease

[@mycroft16]

I wonder if there is someway of tagging ants so you can keep track of the same ants visually during this. Like, do the diggers take a grain of sand and haul it themselves all the way to the dump? Or do they have a conveyor system. The diggers hand off to haulers, maybe a chain of haulers that move it while they mostly stay in a small part of the tunnel as individuals? I'm just curious how they organize around the task. They are ridiculously efficient.
