Ants represent one of the greatest wonders of the natural world - a colonial 'brain' made up of countless individual, mobile units, equipped with a range of special functions and abilities, all working together in a manner akin to a neural network. They are capable of solving problems and overcoming obstacles as a group that would stump any individual organism of such diminutive stature.
They are also of invaluable benefit to their environment, helping to control unwanted pests and plants, enriching and aerating the soil, and even spreading seeds.
Of course, they can also be a force of destruction; an inexorable tide of mass-consumption, striking fear even into organisms many, many times their individual size... yet still serve a purpose in this state by removing decomposing matter.
As an organised, problem-solving, resilient, specialised, varied (there are many thousands of different ant species), and remarkably adaptable organism that demonstrates extraordinary problem-solving abilities (such as constructing a living raft of workers to transport their queen across water), ants are among the 'coolest' of all creatures.
