Those Little Ant Scouts Make 3-D Maps

Yes, we are not the only smart creatures in the world using GPS technology.

The little ants coming in our home are making a map.

They prospect three dimensional territories, including floor square footage and vertical wall distances.

They are calculating various distances to food sources. They are calculating routes and most fruitful destination points.

Those ant scouts are doing some pretty serious work.

CatMom's favorite are the little junior ants who still have lighter brown thin bodies. They are not full grown. They are the same ant variety. There are not two types. They are just in school. Their ant parents are teaching them how to scout.

I just walked by one at the door. He is sitting there planning his next destination and route in.

CatMom left him. Later on, once he has gathered his intel, she will give him his lift out.
