Ants are not only insects but also engineers. Ants estimate distance before building a ladder from their bodies, to help their colony cross gaps or reach heights. Ants use visual cues, such as the size and shape of the gap, to determine how many ants are needed to form the ladder. It demonstrates the ants' remarkable collective intelligence and cooperation, as well as their ability to adapt to different situations. #Ants #Ladder #Intelligence https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/07/ants-estimate-distance-before-building-a-ladder-from-their-bodies/?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FMind+and+Matter
