"This," writes photographer Yu Wu, "was found beside a river in China. The small ant is biting the branch and holding the 'big' rock up in the air." (ngm.nationalgeographic.com)

What purpose does he have to do that?

[–]Lampmonster1 237 points238 points ago

He thinks they need the rock. He'll hold it till help comes. That's just how ants are.

[–]C-3PO 377 points378 points ago

It was actually a prank from the other ants. They were like, "Ronalds, hang onto this rock for a second." and then they all went off to the sugar mine. The Sugar Mine is the ant gay bar.

[–]mechanicorn 82 points83 points ago

You mean lesbian ant bar?

Edit: Also, shouldn't it be like, the honey pot, or something?

... I'll see myself out.

      [–]mechanicorn 22 points23 points ago

      All worker ants are female. The only male ants are drones (they also have wings typically, not sure about all species however) which die pretty much immediately after mating. Same thing goes for bees.

      [–]mfanous007 8 points9 points ago

      funny thing about the ants with wings, they only develop wings when they want to move, so they can scout the land for a new place to start, pretty sweet if you ask me

      [–]mechanicorn 2 points3 points ago

      That is pretty cool. Ants are neat... but all I can really remember about them is what I listed and how a fuckton of drones showed up in my basement one year - scariest shit ever.

          [–]Eat_a_Bullet 48 points49 points ago

          Oh my god, no. Ants are so fucking brutal and savage, and they run on chemical autopilot. They are basically robots that kill and plunder until they work themselves to death.

          Since when did you leave the bullet business and tread into this trade. Vomit is a tricky business my friend.

          [–]Eat_a_Bullet 1 point2 points ago

          Don't tell anyone, but vomit has a profit margin like you wouldn't believe.

          [–]TheSaddestGrape 7 points8 points ago

          Consider this: The Queen of England probably drinks milk every now and then. Milk is a fatty substance excreted by a cow, a large, usually rather smelly, mammal.

          [–]Frosty_lemons 1 point2 points ago

          This reminds me of the ant spiral of death, where they all follow each other in a circle until they all die of exhaustion. Due to a chemical imbalance of some sort, I believe.

            It's because to an ant "others" is really self. They are as one, no individual matters they will help if it works towards the greater good, if not, they're screwed.

            Pretty much. After they've settled a new colony they spend the rest of their lives (which can be up to 26 years!) popping out larvae.

              He can't remember whether he's holding the rock or standing on it. Likewise with the branch. Best to hang on to both until it comes back to him.

                          the only thing I can think of is the rock was on the ground with the ant. The photographer lowered the stick, the ant grabbed hold, then the photographer raised the stick up and took a picture.

                          Look how high the rock is off the ground, did he fly up with the rock and grab the stick? how does he get the rock off the ground in the first place if the stick is stationary

                          Unfortunately if ants were bigger they wouldn't retain any of their relative super strength, and would actually be weaker than humans would. They only seem strong because they are so small- muscle strength approximately increases to the second power of size (as the diameter of the muscle gets larger), but weight increases to the third power.

                          Not to mention the fact that due to how insects are designed it is impossible for them to grow exceedingly large (e.g. no lungs/respiratory system, no closed circulatory system). They breathe through a system of tubes (tracheal system) connected to the air via holes in the insect's body (spiracles), and the oxygen will get absorbed through the tubes via relatively high surface area to volume ratio. Make the ant much bigger, and this system no longer can pass enough air and absorb sufficient oxygen for the greatly increased volume compared to surface area for the ant.

                          So basically a ton of things that makes insects work and awesome only works because they are so small.

                          Unless of course the oxygen content in air was higher. Which kinda was the reason there use to be huge insects in the distant past

                          I was going to post this and feel all proud, then I felt really proud of reddit, but then I realized that, well, "Of course reddit is going to know that fact about giant insects in the time of dinosaurs.... At least half of the site was a 2nd/3rd grade boy at one point and, well, it's a fact about insects AND dinosaurs man."

                              Ants already make themselves adult sized. No interference necessary. That ant right there is the size of an adult ant, in fact.

                              yeah if everyone just died at once then there would be no one left to care about us. it would be as if none of our existence ever happened. the whole collective knowledge of human existence would disappear with us and that is a comforting thought to me. the only pain in death is felt by those who are left behind to grieve. if we all leave then there would be absolutely no pain felt. there would be nothing

                                                That ant probably started the day with a brilliant plan, started doing some really cool shit, then things went seriously downhill. Maybe he couldn't even tell you exactly he got to the state he's in now, but he's still trying to hold things together. Hero ant. But stoopid.

                                                Seriously though, the only way that could have happened, is if the 'branch' was originally close to the ground, then was raised somehow.

                                                Moral: sometimes you just got to know when to let go of stuff.
