What's one of the most wonderous things you've ever seen?

Question

For me, I recall looking closely at the ground and seeing a line of ants.. carrying their eggs and moving. I followed their trail and they were moving a long ways away from their home. I think there was some oil or pollution that got into that area and so they decided to move.

Whats one of the most wonderous things youve ever seen?

How does something so small it fits on the tip of a pencil, "decide" to move... figure out where to move that to a human, would be hundreds of miles away. Then, organize all in the nest to pickup, build a new home, and move all the contents?

There is a world out there we just don't see, but it is as smart and stronger by weight than we are. We aren't the only intelligent life.

My girlfriend and I both have a love for these things, we grew up with streams nearby... the discovery and wonder of life. We've spent some fun time, for hours, poking sticks in the rocky shores off New England, looking for "things". It's a true joy in life, to enjoy that together, to see the bigger and smaller world.

That's a very cool story.

One time I was hiking up a canyon with some friends. We came around a bend and the landscape up ahead was red. As we got closer, everything ahead was shimmering red. It looked surreal. When we finally got close, we saw that it was a swarm of ladybugs -millions of them. They covered every surface of the ground, stalks of grass, shrubs, bushes, tree trunks. They were so thick that a branch a 1/4 of an inch in diameter was over an inch in diameter. And the scene went on as far as the eye could see.

For me it's also ants building nests, hunting, defending and feeding. I assume you've already discovered this Youtube channel?

Definitely one of the best for Ants. On another note, there is even a really decent PC game based on the called Empires Of The Undergrowth!

yes, I've spend quite bit time watching ants devour bread and try to haul it down a hole or haul off some unfortunate bug. All coordinated. Humans have hard time with that.

One thing I have noticed about ants, when I considered the question of "what is smaller than a teenie weenie ant?" I came to the conclusion that the answer is: "An ant's teenie weenie!"

Well it’s simple science. It doesn’t mean they’re intelligent, it’s just hardwired in their brain. Their dna has been imprinted by previous generations, to know what is dangerous and can kill them. So they are only following their biological code. Now if they were conscious of it and start keeping diaries and writing stories about how pollution made them go great distances, than we could consider them intelligent.

interesting point. that geets into memory and thinking. Somehow... they made a decision it was not safe and to move. That's some serious thinking. Whether they are keeping journals or communicating in other ways, not sure we really know that. Even so, that brain is soooo small and yet is doing a lot of figuring out...
