    Another reason wasps don’t just kill the ants but instead flies them away is because an injured or dead ant gives off different pheromones than a live ant and if the wasp doesn’t completely kill the ant then its pheromones will attract the ant’s sisters who will finish the job

    The funny thing is that wasps and ants are both members of the order Hymenoptera, so they both have a lot in common. I confess I'm with the ants, and bees (another Humenopteran) this time. Curiously, male ant elates, who's job it is to fertilize queen ant elates during the nuptial flight, tend to resemble wasps. They die after mating.

      There is also a theory that once a male ant does its purpose, it doesn't simply die. It just ceases to be seen as a fellow member of the colony on top of not really being compelled to be part of it... and in a microverse that makes that the only thing protecting ants... they die from being food of other bugs, including non-mating members of its former colony.

    Ant dont always lose and infact, they will almost always win wars. Army ants, namely eciton and dorylus(some of the clips in this video also contained eciton and dorylus), march somewhat like an actual army and are very numerous, hence the name army ants. Eciton are known to make bridges to wasp nests and even with so many ants creating the bridge, they can still overcome the nests

    After watching, I would not agree that ants are losing the wars. Your just kinda counting isolated incidents or specific wasps that evolved to be parasites to ants. Like my major counter is the vast majority ants don’t actually have large nests, but fire ants, Argentinian ants, and army ants have super colonies in the hundreds of millions each. Army ants specifically will hunt wasps and completely wipe out there nests entirely.

      It depends, overall wasps a tually win more often then not, whenever these types of wars happen, usually owing to their far superior Maneuverability and individual strength, but it’s also important to note these wars usually don’t happen at all actual colony wars are rare because the cost involved is just not worth it to either species, that’s why wasps in particular have evolved so many ways to just keep the ants elsewhere it’s not worth fighting them most of the time.

    My last apartment ("hardwood" laminate floors) had a persistent ant problem, with VERY clear highways across the floor.
    It always bothered me to have to keep killing them, so (and I swear to Christ everything I'm about to say is true) out of SPITE, just to make the food chain obvious to them, I started half-killing the soldiers, getting them to spread panic/danger pheromones and then left the corpses to sit in the same spot as emphasis. I noticed the next day that the dead ant bodies had been moved about a foot away, so I pushed them back to where the ant had died. Same thing the next day, and the day after that... the ant corpses kept getting moved out of the way, so I kept putting them back while (and it hurt me a little to do so) fatally maiming one or two every day for like a week AND THEN THEY WENT AWAY AND I NEVER SAW ANOTHER ANT IN MY APARTMENT.

    "Scouts" are not a specific caste in the ant colony. Additionally, ants possess a lot more intelligence than you give them credit for. They have extremely good navigational skills and it is very hard for them to get lost. They have complex search patterns that they use to locate their nest when lost. They can also use the sun, moon, and stars to navigate. They are actually one of the most intelligent animals, with the entire colony having the collective intelligence of a human child.

  • @you1027
    @you1027 Рік тому

    Yep. Wasps and ants have a similar relationship as hunter-gatherer nomadic tribes vs agricultural settlements. One is more actively killer/predator-y, the other taps into features of the land for more bounty. And similarly, there's the disparity between specimens being big mighty killer warriors, vs organized worker-soldiers.

    just wait till ants like the bullet ant's become more common, and retain the fire ant mentality. we would have such... a massive problem on our hands then.
    cuz right now bullet ants are kinda.... like lone wolves they don't exactly do the swarming thing... especially when it just takes a handful to really mess up prey, let alone people but if they were to even end up having that fire ant trait and become much... much more aggressive, think alot of species gonna have problems

    I enjoy imagining how the split between wasps and ants, since they both share an ancestor. Imagine a scifi where its humans, what line was drawn when where and why. Probably a spice of transhumanism in it, most certainly a little eusociality in the mix.
