i wish they could somehow make a camera small enough and attach it to an ant's head, or make a small robotic ant, so we could watch teh inside UNdisturbed. how do they act when there AREN'T anything disturbing them? ant's sure are perhaps THE most remarkable creature. :)
wolfy boy it would not work, they use signals by rubbing thier thier legs agianst thier abdomen to create sound to recognise eachother, just because some species learned to replicate it doesn't mean a robotic ant can, it's metal, not a exoskeleton, and doubt a speaker could fool them
A camera on an ants head would suggest to the other ants that it was a high rank, and the other workers would challenge her for dominance. And if it was a robot and the ants would think there was an intruder in their nest.
The funny part is that they were disturbed towards the end, and started shooting acid at him. That's like a person freaking out and getting the shotgun.
Ant #1: Guys, I'm telling you that there's humans watching our every move from out there! Ant #2: For god's sakes, Frank, nobody in the freakin' colony cares about your crazy stories...
There's a good size rock in my backyard, maybe about 3 feet in diameter and probably weighs 400lb. Within a 5 foot circle of that rock, there are lots of ants and several smaller rocks. If you lift up on of the smaller rocks, the ground underneath it is black with ants and hundreds of tiny tunnel holes. I've always wanted to get a few friends with shovels and tip over that big rock just to see what's under it. (and then pour molten metal in)
Most species of ants that make nests under rocks are quite docile, and you want to disrupt the privacy of an entire nest of ants, then pour molten metal into their home, burning and drowning them and petrifying them if their bodies aren't melted.That's killing thousands of innocent lives, for the sake of art. Doesn't that sound slightly cruel to you?
Blake the Blue Dragon Well your wrong there, kid. If I ate an all plant diet, I would probably go insane. I just hate unnecessary killing for stupid reasons like "making a pretty sculpture" (or any kind of trophy kill for that matter) or treating creatures with so little respect just because they are small, but if your killing an animal for food, I really don't care as long as nothing goes to waste. Also, just a bit of advice, if your looking for a vegan, they usually (meaning some, not all) spout out that they are vegan mid sentence when it isn't even relevant in an attempt to get the recognition and praise that they constantly crave.
"We can see what it's like without disturbing them." *giant fucking camera slides into the ant burrow.* "Hey, uh...was...was that camera always there?" "Hmm? Oh, I dunno. Probably. Anyway let's go, Queens gonna be here soon and we gotta look busy." "Fair shout."
I always feed Ants at my area Pop-Tarts' crumbs small enough for them to gather and store for winter since they each possess the sweet-tooth. Back in my Middle to High-School whenever I have speech, I showed my speech teachers how I fed the ants and explained about it which amazed them.
Thanks to this Now my friend know what is inside of ant house Beacuse we always throw water and torture them until We find the end of the colony of ants
I know its cruel but i also want to see an ant colony get flooded or like a huge wave of water (just pour a bottle of water near the colony) like a tsunami to the ants
Ants throw out parasite infested corpses. They toss out cordyceps infested corpses before they even reach the infection stage. Clever little beasties aren't they?
This is actually my idea when i grow up but instead of putting a wire inside I will catch a ant like a bullet ant and attach a very small micro camera to the ant then let it go into the colony.
