Queen  of  Honey  Ants  drinking  Honey      sweet....

Honeypot ants, also called honey ants, are ants which have specialized workers that are gorged with food by workers to the point that their abdomens swell enormously. Other ants then extract nourishment from them.

Mass of ants behaving as a fluid.....

 

The bizarre physics of fire ants....

Fire ants use their claws to grip diverse surfaces, including each other. As a result of their mutual adhesion and large numbers, ant colonies flow like inanimate fluids. This film shows how ants behave similarly to the spreading of drops, the capillary rise of menisci, and gravity-driven flow down a wall. By emulating the flow of fluids, ant colonies can remain united under stressful conditions.

My experiment on Colored Ants, showing all the 'set up'. Ants were fed with colored sugar drops; their abdomen show the colors they gulped. The experiment was set on a 1-meter high wall of my compound, at Mysore, India.
