Almost scary teamwork

Well I have another video for everybody because I was too lazy to read an article and comment on it. Odds are you are sharing the same feelings right now. Or maybe not otherwise you wouldn't be reading this. Since you already put in the effort to start this post, watch this video!

See! The team work is scary. Hire a team of ants as construction workers. They'll build a house in the time you'd use to call a real construction company! Ants are able to communicate better than people by using chemical scents known as pheromones (the link to the article is on "pheromones"). Scientists believe ants could have anywhere between ten or twenty different types of pheromones that they keep mainly on their antennae. 

So take away an ant's antenna, and it'll probably be more pissed than a teenager who just got their phone taken away. It's really depressing to know ants could probably build amazing things but instead they decide to construct piles of dirt with holes.... And this is why humans are the dominant race holding the magnifying glass. Woo mankind!
