Army Ants: The Bravest of the Brave!

Army Ants: The Bravest of the Brave!

Here and there - in the kitchen, bathroom and elsewhere - you'll see a single, small dull black ant going back and forth - seemingly aimless.  It's not aimless. It's the army ant - on a mission, a reconnaissance mission for his compatriots. He is looking for safe areas where food (esp. sugar) is available. And once he goes back with his report, the ant battalions will march in, an orderly line of them, heading for the area recommended by the brave army ant. The army ant risks his life for his brothers and sisters! I know. because I squash them on sight!
