Ant's don't know what's honor they just do it. Why do they do it? Because the one who doesn't do it died. that's all. | ||

All they do is just walk around foraging for anything they can find that is edible, and then bringing it back to their hole. They do this all day long without ever taking a rest. They don't even think about keeping what they find for themselves, nor do they steal something of value from a fellow ant either. No. They are all driven by this moral/ethics law which, impressively, is never enforced! For all we know ants could have already invented neural implants to make this communistic code-of-behavior a living reality! This is why I think that they're the dominant species on this planet, so much that they use their knowledge and wisdom to make us, humans, think we are the dominant ones; somehow they found out, with the course of history, that we're prideful creatures. They are abusing this fact for their own good, given that in a situation of turmoil in between ants and men, we'd come up the victors, all because of our physical advantages. Even if we are one-hundredth as smart as they are. Ants are a living testimony of a civilization that has reached absolute perfection, and will keep on being until the dawn of earth's future. This is why I hate them so much and find them to be outrageous! Who's with me? Someone has been reading Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy too much... XD | ||

Argentine Ants (Linepithema humile) - the most successful ant species globally; it is an invasive species that has spread from Argentina to most of the planet (all continents excluding Antarctica) and are displacing all native ant species with which they come into contact at an alarming rate... and btw, they are one super-colony: --- According to research published in Insectes Sociaux in 2009, it was discovered that ants from three Argentine ant supercolonies in America, Europe and Japan, that were previously thought to be separate, were in fact most likely to be genetically related. The three colonies in question were one in Europe, stretching 6,000 km (3,700 miles) along the Mediterranean coast, the "Californian large" colony, stretching 900 km (560 miles) along the coast of California, and a third on the west coast of Japan. Based on a similarity in the chemical profile of hydrocarbons on their cuticles of the ants from each colony, and on the ants non-aggressive and grooming behaviour when interacting, compared to their behaviour when mixing with ants from other super-colonies from the coast of Catalonia in Spain and from Kobe in Japan, researchers concluded that the three colonies studied actually represented a single global super-colony. The researchers stated that "enormous extent of this population is paralleled only by human society", and had probably been spread and maintained by human travel." ---- source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentine_ant | ||

No enforcement, yet still no theft. Interesting to think about. | ||

I hate to break it to you but in Alabama they have already formed hybrids: the Black Imported Fire Ant, Solenopsis richteri, is very similar to the Red Imported Fire Ant, Solenopsis invictus (i.e. your most common and prevalent "fire ant"). The Black Imported Fire Ant and the red/black hybridization is currently limited to a small area of northern Mississippi and Alabama - I know, odd coincidence given your quote lol.. Anyway myrmecologists have long thought that the Black and Red Fire Ants were two distinct species that it is until very recently when was discovered that hybrids of these ants produce viable offspring (naturally).. now some even postulate that they are simply two races of the same species.. Btw the Black Fire Ants and its Red | ||
