[ScottMcK9]

I recently had an ants nest coming up into the bloody house, bastards always come to my desk for some reason lol then if that wasn't bad enough, you get FLYING ANTS!! what the fuck? hahahahahaha!! :D smart wee bastards :) not good enough for the poison I laid out for them though :)

[ciarepairs]

Ants are hard as fuck.

[Gearsparker]

The ants do not make honey... They gather nectar and water and then feed it to replete ants who store it in their gastors, growing to sizes that make them immobile. A good survival strategy for overcoming long periods of drought and famine! I was surprised that it was actually possible to remove the repletes from their nest...

[InsideDating]

Ants rule!

[antdude]

@InsideDating Yes, I rule! :)

[dunrudin]

Aboriginal people in Australia dig up nests. You hold the ant by the head and bite its bum off. They call it "sugarbag." That was the candy store before the whitefella arrived.

[FaiLeRtc1]

[codenameGIZM0]

[DeadWhiteButterflies]

Wait, ants can make honey? Never knew that before! :D

[florencelovme]

@DeadWhiteButterflies me neither! weird stuff.

[chaoman232]

@DeadWhiteButterflies technically they cant but only this kind has adapted to make honey hence the name honey ants

[gnamp]

@DeadWhiteButterflies my aunt makes jam.

[missbubzify]

@DeadWhiteButterflies THese are special honey ants from Arizona

[fuelyournews]

@DeadWhiteButterflies

favorite meal of o.a. chimps // they stick a weed in the nest opening // pull it out with honey ants on it // sweet snack !!

[TheAngelicDefender]

@DeadWhiteButterflies Um...they can't.

[GaminCro]

@DeadWhiteButterflies They actually don't make it, they drain the honey from plants and store it then.

[Gruffington31]

I much prefer David Attenborough doing the voice over...... not the same without his vocal presence!

[HabboPhil]

@Gruffington31 that guys voice is perfect.

[Gruffington31]

@HabboPhil not debating that issue only that I prefer David Attenborough!
