Exactly why I drink Yerba Mate when I'm not sipping on Prune Juice here at the Old Geezer's Home 😀

Ants are ferocious predators who have a variety of prey.

They are relentless when it comes to foraging whether it is plant or animal material.

The power of an ant would be comparable to carrying a compact car in your teeth for five miles.

Ever dance around a taverna with a table gripped between your teeth? 🙄 Would a '94 Honda Civic count? 😉

Ants are arguably the most successful creatures in the world. They are so numerous, and survive so well in so many places -- why haven't they taken over the world?




























Because they eat each other.


It's a treaty in progress.

But were you dancing, too? 😉 (Bigger than a table or bigger than a '94 Honda Civic?) 😛

If ants are so clever then how come I wiped out a whole species with the aid of some battery acid and a solitary crisp? (Potato chip = crisp you idle proponents of mob rule).

Get a bottle of Maple syrup and make a trail from your desk to the closest exterior door. When the ants march out the door simply close the door behind them. It might take a day or two. Be patiant.

Ants produce a wide variety of glandular secretions employed for chemical communication.

Pheromones used in social insect communication are usually highly volatile, and their chemistry can be analysed using gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy.

Just learn to speak ant. 😀
