The ant is a fascinating organism to study. Its form is both intellectually and aesthetically appealing. The many parallels that exist between humans and ants have proven thought provoking for some of the greatest scientific minds. The estimated biomass of the ants has been approximated to be roughly equal to that of humans. Ants engage in war, sew silk, garden, enslave other ants, and are one of the few species other than humans truly capable of altering their surroundings. Yet while we hold so many characteristics in common with the ant, they can appear and act as delightfully foreign to us as any Hollywood created alien.
