When You See an Ant

A  L  O  H  A !

" Give me a smart idiot 

over a stupid genius 

any day. "

Samuel Goldwyn 

" My grandmother is over 80 

and still doesn't need glasses.

She drinks right out of the bottle. "

 Henny Youngman

“An ant on the move 

does more 

than a dozing ox.”

 Lao Tzu 

          -o,,o,,o'

Consider the Ant- 

In a clever new study, 

patient scientists placed Bar Codes

on more than 1,000 carpenter ants

then used high-resolution infrared 

cameras to monitor the ants.

No one knew before

that ants change jobs

at different stages of life!

Young ants are nursemaids to

the larvae and pupae.

Middle aged ants, patrol the colony

to keep it in working order,

they are police,

and civil engineers.

Do the seniors have a job?

YES! Indeed they do.

Alessandro Crespi of the 

Swiss Federal Institute of Technology

says: 

"The most dangerous job

is foraging, as it requires leaving the

nest for the outside world. That's a

job for the oldest ants."

So
if you see an ant
it is a seasoned
senior!
