Title: A Deceased Ant !
Post by: neilep on 05/05/2006 18:47:03

Why , when encountering a 'passed' ant will another ant grab it and drag it somewhere ?..presumably back to the nest !

I would guess yes they do, but that would only be a presumption on my part. I know some are definitely meat eaters Ehhh!
