I don't know why my post is acting weird. Here's a user on youtube who has uploaded videos of ants doing wonderful things in the wild. www.youtube.com.../u

I remember when I was a kid, my friend and I decided to make a ant city. We made them trails and hiding places, and I remember we made them a cafeteria, lodging, and a swing set that they actually got on!

Ever since seeing them actually utilize these things, I was convinced ants were really amazing creatures.
...haha...so, you're telling me that ants have lunch at cafe's and stay at lodges? And you actually built them a mini-swing set so light they could actually use their momentum to build up a swing? And they in fact did this for amusement?

As far as society and behavior goes, I think the closest animals to us are undoubtedly ants. They build, they farm and they are prone to wars and violence. (ever seen an ant war? It's pretty cool)





Also very sophisticated mating behaviors.



I think these insects are highly intelligent. Maybe not by themselves, but when you put them all together and form a group mind I bet you will find an extreme level of intelligence.

They have very sophisticated means of communication, and the colony works like a well oiled machine. If you ever watch army ants traveling you will notice they make their own highway. Really sophisticated behavior.





Here is a video that shows you that "highway". There is another one that explains why ants form the barriers.... Hold on let me see if I can find it. I'll edit this post if I can.
