Why Do Ants Bump Into Each Other?

The video explores the fascinating world of ant behavior, focusing on their communication methods and social interactions. Ants use scent and touch to identify nestmates and detect threats. They also engage in trophylaxis, a food-sharing process crucial for colony sustenance. Ants communicate through pheromones, body language, and even sound. Their movement is efficient, using an alternating tripod pattern for agility. These behaviors highlight the complexity of ant societies and their dynamic communication practices.
