Storm Troopers on the Rise


I am happy to be back this Fall 2015 Semester! Good wishes to you all on this new semester! I'd like to share with you all the most interesting thing I have been researching so far about ants. I've been researching their many different adaptations. One of my favorite adaptations of an ant species is how they are capable of stealing another specie’s colony in order to survive. They kill the colony’s queen and all of her children. The tend to leave some of the larva alive in order to keep them as their slaves. This ant species is known as Polyergus breviceps or Slavemaker ants. They are basically ruthless serial killers.
Here’s a video of the ants about to embark into new territory:
