Some ants are nomads🐜🐜

Not all ant species build nests. A group of about 200 species known as army ants have two phases of their life: nomad and stationary. During the colony's nomad phase, the ants travel all day, attacking other colonies and insects they encounter for food🐜. At night, they build a temporary nest and keep moving the next morning. The only time they stop traveling is during the stationary phase when the queen lays eggs and the colony waits for them to hatch. During this time, the worker ants make a nest out of their own bodies to protect the queen, the food, and the eggs.

One of the weirdest ant behaviour 😲🐜
SLAVE MAKING

Certain ant species engage in "slave-making," where they raid other ant colonies to capture and enslave their workers.😶🤔
some ants capture other ants as slaves by raiding their nests for brood (eggs, larvae, and pupae)😬. These slave-making ants bring the captured brood back to their own colony, where the young ants mature and, having imprinted on the captors' colony odor, become workers who perform tasks for their new masters. These "slave" ants may then go on to help raise the next generation of slaves. 😲..
Next time you see ant's, don't mind there size, they are ruthless 😅🤣..

How much can an ant lift? 🤔

Ants can lift objects 50 times their own body weight. Imagine a human lifting a car!😮🐜

Imagine if ants were human size, they could actually lift more than we could and would be undefeated against other animals species as a colony.

Soldier ants protect the colony from predators and other threats. They have larger heads and stronger mandibles compared to worker ants.

Soldier ants are not necessarily a unique species, but they are the larger size of different ant species, and can throw a powerful bite with there stronger mandibles.

👇This is a lose up view of a soldier ant.

Do you know??😮

Some species of spiders can lose a leg on purpose! This is called "autotomy" (self-amputation). When threatened, certain spiders can release a leg to distract predators, escape or survive. The detached leg can twitch, confusing the predator, while the spider escapes.

This unique defense mechanism showcases spiders' remarkable adaptability and survival strategies.

Spiders can hear with their legs!
They don't have ears like humans do, but they can detect vibrations through their webs or the ground using specialized organs in their legs. This helps them detect prey, predators or potential mates.

What you never knew about flies 😄

Using high-resolution, high-speed digital imaging of fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) faced with a looming swatter, the secret to a fly's evasive maneuvering has been discovered. Long before the fly leaps, its tiny brain calculates the location of the impending threat, comes up with an escape plan, and places its legs in an optimal position to hop out of the way in the opposite direction. All this action occurs about 100 milliseconds after the fly first spots the swatter.

If you look close at the Sun with a translucent glass you might just spot it.

A "black spot" on the sun is called a sunspot; it's a cooler area on the sun's surface that appears dark because of concentrated magnetic fields which prevent as much heat from reaching the surface, although it's still extremely hot compared to Earth standards.

Music is not only able to affect your mood. Listening to particularly happy or sad music can even change how we perceive the world, according to researchers from the University of Groningen.

Music and mood are closely interrelated. Listening to a sad or happy song on the radio can make you feel sad or happy. However, such mood changes not only affect how you feel but also change your perception. For example, people will recognize happy faces if they are feeling happy themselves.

A study by researcher Jacob Jolij and student Maaike Meurs of the Psychology Department of the University of Groningen showed that music has an even more dramatic effect on perception: even if there is nothing to see, people sometimes still see happy faces when they are listening to happy music and sad faces when they are listening to sad music.

Owls can’t move their eyeballs. That’s because owls don’t have eyeballs at all. Instead, their eyes are shaped like tubes, held rigidly in place by bones called sclerotic rings. (Human eye sockets, which hold spherical eyes, do not have sclerotic rings.)

Because owls can’t roll their eyes around the way we do, they have to move their entire head to get a good look around. They frequently twist their head and “bob and weave” to expand their field of view. Owls can turn their necks about 270° in either direction and 90° up-and-down, without moving their shoulders!

Although owls can’t move their eyes, many other adaptations help these raptors spot prey. Owl eyes are huge! An owl’s eyes can account for up to 3% of its entire body weight. (Eyes account for about .0003% of a human’s body weight.) There is one drawback to their large eyes. Owls are very farsighted. They can’t focus on objects that are too close. Instead, sensitive whisker-like bristles around their beaks help owls detect objects at close range.

Owls have “eyeshine.” Eyeshine is a result of an animal’s tapetum lucidum, a layer of tissue behind the retina that reflects visible light. This reflection dramatically increases the light available to the animal’s photoreceptors and gives it superior night vision.
