😈🐜RUTHLESS ANTS GIF CHALLENGE 😈🐜 — We hope you enjoy our new special video about four of the most ruthless and crafty ants we’ve filmed: https://youtu.be/RBqt5egv6go Fire ants have an excruciating bite and sting. Kidnapper ants steal other ants’ babies. Honeypot ants turn their sisters into living jugs of nectar. And Argentine ants act as bodyguards in exchange for strings of sugary candy.
CHALLENGE: Which of the four ants mentioned above uses its own larvae to build a raft to survive floods? And what part of the larvae helps the raft stay afloat?
Fire ants! As floodwater trickles into their underground tunnels, fire ants start a rescue mission and build a raft out of their colony's larvae and pupae, putting them at the bottom. Curved, forked hairs on the larvae trap air bubbles that help keep the raft afloat.
➡️ ➡️The first 5 fans to give us BOTH the correct answer before 8am PST tomorrow will get a shout-out in the video description. Ready, set – GO!⏳
