Ants, they are much smarter than you think
Fun Fact: Ants are pretty much an insect that creeps me out
As much as I love insects it's the fact of how superior they can actually be but also the fact they go in a formation in grups and an army.
I know this blog is to promote bugs but different species do many things to survive. I watched this hour documentary called "Ant's Natures Secret" which I suggest people to watch, you will have a better insight about Ants.
One thing I really like is about Mealey Bugs, Ants hunt for food, most insects get hunted in groups and used to feed their queen however ants actually protect Mealey bugs which is a bug that drinks sweetness from plants.
Ants carry Mealey bugs to the sweetest of saplings allowing them to drink and keeps them away from danger by crowding over their backs. After it's time to return home they carry each Mealey bug back, youngsters by their mouths and the mothers on their head. This is so they can drink the liquid when they pass it through their body.
Ants actually found an insect of use and salvage them to keep to their own well being and survive.
