Here are 17 facts about ants that show the pesky crawlers in a completely different light.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>1. some ant species consist exclusively of females. This is the species Mycocepurus Smithii, whose queens produce their offspring alone and have no need for males.<\/p>\n<p>2. ants have been around for about 130 million years, i.e. since the time of the dinosaurs.<\/p>\n<p>3. it is estimated that there are 10 trillion ants on earth.<\/p>\n<p>4. the largest ant measured (Titanomyrna Giganteum) was almost 7cm long and had a wingspan of 15cm.<\/p>\n<p>5 Since ants have been around since the time of the dinosaurs, they have already survived the extinction of the dinosaurs and have even spread significantly since then.<\/p>\n<p>6. ants are clean creatures: the worker ants carry rubbish from their nest to a special dump.<\/p>\n<p>7. the biomass of all ants in the world corresponds to the biomass of all humans.<\/p>\n<p>8. 40,000 ant brains could be the first human brain. In other words, the human brain consists of around 10,000 million brain cells, while the ant's brain consists of 25,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>9 Ants also need to sleep. The queen of certain ant species sleeps for over nine hours a day, 92 times for 6 minutes each time. Worker ants, however, are only allowed to sleep for four and a half hours a day.<\/p>\n<p>10 Some ants can carry up to 100 times their own body weight, even when sitting vertically on a smooth disc.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>11 Ants started growing their food 50 million years earlier than humans. They even fertilised their fields.<\/p>\n<p>12 Ants can live up to 30 years, giving them the longest life expectancy of all insects.<\/p>\n<p>13 Male ants only live to mate with the queen, after which they die.<\/p>\n<p>14 Soldier ants protect their colony by blocking the entrances with their heads.<\/p>\n<p>15 Each ant colony has its own special chemical profile. This is how ants know whether another ant comes from their colony or a neighbouring one.<\/p>\n<p>16 The ant colony can extend over several kilometres.<\/p>\n<p>17 Ant colonies wage wars among themselves. For example, a queen can kill a neighbouring queen and steal her workers, or she can order her workers to steal eggs from a neighbouring colony.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Small they may be, but ants are intelligent and surprise with many characteristics.
