Ants

Ants go to the zoo on cold days because they live there. Ants are at zoos every single day of the year.

I think it is a community!

Antarctica was called so because the Greek meaning of it is opposite of the north. In their language they say ant differently so it really didnt matter to them.

I think that they would, since they even eat dirt. But if you plan on feeding them almonds, it would be helpful if you would shave them very finely.

Ants like anything that can be broken down and consumed as food. Almonds have a small amount of sugar within them. Ants are attracted to sugar. Therefore and thus further, Ants do like almonds.

Yes they do. I have a beetle and it eats ants

Fire ants were first detected in Australia in February 2001 and Global Garden reported on them in the March 2001 edition. This is a follow-up to that article. The more people are aware of this menace the faster it will be eradicated.

Carpenter ants that are poisoned.

Nothing or else they would die I would imagine.

Beware of questions of the form of: "What is the purpose of..." Such a question is meaningless in most cases, and from different points of view one gets different answers.

Are you asking the question as, for example, a philosopher, a biologist, a farmer, a human, an ant eater, or a fire ant? For the philosopher, if there is an answer, it might be something like: "It depends on what you mean by having a purpose, which is not in general obvious. There might be many purposes for many things to many interests, or there might be none at all. If there must be some purpose, it is not clear that we can know the purpose for everything; the purpose of a hammer in a hardware store might be to make a profit. In a carpentry workshop it might be to drive a nail. In the hands of a burglar it might be to break a window. On a scale it might be to balance a weight; in a doorway it might be to prop the door open. To an experimenter the purpose of a fire ant might be to find out whether other fire ants are likely to bite, or sting, or both."

The biologist might say: "The purpose of the fire ant, if you insist on having a purpose, which is a very artificial and strained kind of idea, is to make lots more fire ants like itself."

The farmer might say: "To kill pests that eat my crops, or, evilly, to prevent my cattle from grazing in my pastures."

The ant eater might say: "Yum yum."

The human might say: "To obey my commands, because I have dominion over them. I have a little book that tells me that."

The fire ant might say: "To provide food and shelter for myself and my nest mates, and to kill and eat anything that interferes with that."

Until you can make sense of such ideas, and work out what the idea of purpose means for such points of view, there is no way to answer the question.

And while we are thinking of treacherous kinds of ideas, another kind of question to beware of is: "Why..."

Such questions can mean too many things or too few to answer.

Why are such questions dangerous? What is their purpose?

The movement of ants in a dog's stomach may cause them to vomit after eating ants. When a dog ingest ants, to them, it may feel like a tickling sensation, which causes them to vomit.

Adapt to what? i mean, they have already adpted to food shortages by storing nectar, what else do you want from them? really? what else would they have to adapt to?

They both benefit from eachother

No, just crabs that live near your balls which look like fire ants :D

Hi, ants can be a real big problem sometimes, but a very easy n simple solution I have for them, I try it personally and get excellent results. Dont kill them just put some wheat flour anywhere you want to keep ants away from, or ants are there and you want to get rid of them. It could be tree, kitchen, anywhere.

Yes they do!

if there is a small gap the very smal ants can escape but ants like lasius Niger (average garden ant,black and fast)cant get through small gaps

Time passes better for neither ants nor giants, it passes at the same rate, defining what you mean by giants would help. I believe you mean the humans are the giants.

After the the colony has overtaken the cow it would take anywhere from 10-15 minutes, more or less. And the ants would strip it to the bone in 24-48 hours.

Yes. Ants have bilateral symmetry. Bilateral symmetry means something has symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side.
