  1. 6 Scary Reasons Why Humans Should Heel To The Almighty Ant

  2. Ants Have Been Around Since the Era of Dinosaurs • According torecent studies, ants come from the mid-cretaceous period, i.e. approximately 110 to 130 million years ago. • As a species, they are as old as dinosaurs; perhaps even older. • Ants survived the whole dinosaur-extinction-period and came out unscathed. Counts for something, right?

  3. Ants are Brainiacs • Ants are smarter than you think! Ants have more than 250,000 brain cells, which makes them the smartest insect species on the planet. • Ants live in complex interconnected colonies and co-ordinate all their activities. • They even plan defensive tactics, making them the military strategists of the insect world.

  4. Ants are Incredibly Strong • If you think your bulging biceps are a symbol of strength, think again! • An average ant can lift objects 50 times it’s own body weight. • Ants can lift the weight and travel back and forth a tiny mountain, repeatedly, if they have to.

  5. Ants Have a Big Army • When faced with army as big as 10,000,000,000,000,000, our population of 7 billion looks pitiful. • They not only outnumber us by billions, but their bodies also possess powerful weapons. • There is a species of ants, called Bullet Ants, whose bite can be more painful than an actual bullet wound! Each species of ant can boast of having its own powerful secret weapon.

  6. Ants Practice Cannibalism and Slavery • Ants are known to practice “dulosis”, an act wherein they kidnap ants from other colonies and either eat them or put them to work. • They spray a nasty chemical in their prey’s nest, which causes all older ants to flee and when the coast is clear, they steal the eggs. • The eggs are then poached or eaten raw. If the kidnapper is feeling really merciful, they wait till the eggs hatches so they could put the baby ants to work.

  7. Ants are Globetrotters • Scientists estimate that there is no piece of land that ants haven’t walked on. • Ants are avid globetrotters - from the wilderness of the Caribbean to the frozen lands of Norway, they can be found everywhere. • Ants have a greater tolerance for extreme conditions than previously believed.

  8. With power so immense, it probably wont take long for ants to bring you down. If you ever find that ant hives have laid siege to your house, call an exterminator. To find a reliable pest control service, click here: www.imperialpestcontrol.ca
