Ants are common insects, but they have some unique capabilities. More than 10,000 known ant species occur around the world. They are especially prevalent in tropical forests, where they may comprise up to half of all the insects living in some locations.
Ant communities are headed by a queen or queens, whose function in life is to lay thousands of eggs that will ensure the survival of the colony. Workers (the ants typically seen by humans) are wingless females that never reproduce, but instead forage for food, care for the queen's offspring, work on the nest, protect the community, and perform many other duties.
Male ants often have only one role—mating with the queen. After they have performed this function, they may die.
Ant queen and her retinue of attending workers, the workers constantly feed the queen, groom her, and take away the eggs she lays. This queen from a middle sized colony laid an egg every minute or two.
Who taught those little creatures in all over the word these techniques and way of life?
Ants communicate and cooperate by using chemicals that can alert others to danger or lead them to a promising food source. They typically eat nectar, seeds, fungus, or insects. However, some species have diets that are more unusual. Army ants may prey on reptiles, birds, or even small mammals. One Amazon species (Allomerus decemarticulatus) cooperatively builds extensive traps from plant fiber. These traps have many holes and, when an insect steps on one, hundreds of ants inside use the openings to seize it with their jaws.
Ants carrying caterpillar, despite the development and technology of human, are we able to design such magnificent system with that preciseness?
The development of an ant, isn’t similar to the development of human embryo? Indeed the only one creator is the one who created all creatures.
Allah be He blessed and exalted supported this little ant with brain and sophisticated programs to be able to lift heavy things which are three times over their own weight. And can deliver these things to long distance and save it to feed on it in winter.
To realize ants well we have to know that its Size is 0.08 to
All of the above capabilities are controlled from inside the control room of ants (unseen brain). Ant is created and inside its brain all necessary programs to continue life. Who supported it with these programs? God says: (How many are the creatures that carry not their own sustenance? It is God who feeds (both) them and you: for He hears and knows (all things).)(Sûrat Al-Ankabot- verse 60).
