Here is an interesting experiment design (I couldn’t do since it makes me too sad.)

2 sets of ants. The control group is washed, placed alone in the territory of another colony (one at a time) until they are attacked— but then they are rescued via asperator washed again and returned home.

The test group is washed & disguised with alien pheromones and returned to their home colony until they get attacked *by their sisters* but then they are rescued washed again and returned home.
