Crazy raspberry ants invade Houston, destroy electronics
We're not sure where they came from, we don't really know how to stop them, and they're eating our electronics from the inside out!

The only (and small) good news is they eat fire ants. picked by lynxears 2 years ago

 Ants More Rational Than Humans?
Ants More Rational Than Humans?
Ants can accomplish a task more rationally than our – multimodal, egg-headed, tool-using, bipedal, opposing-thumbed – selves. This is not the case of humans being "stupider" than ants. Humans and animals simply often make irrational choices when faced with very challenging decisions. picked by kakana 4 months ago

 Study reveals how ants talk to each other
Study reveals how ants talk to each other
Next time you see an army of ants scurrying around, bear in mind that they may be following orders.

For scientists have shown that the insects talk to each other and are more intelligent than anyone ever realised.

They discovered that ants communicate by stroking a natural 'washboard' on their abdomen with a body part that resembles a plectrum. picked by AutumnLotus 9 months ago

 The Great Internet Migratory Box Of Electronics Junk...
The Great Internet Migratory Box Of Electronics Junk...
...is sort roving flea market meets Internet meme.

The idea, hatched by the guys over at Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories, is to send a box containing random electronics junk to somebody who would take a few pieces, write about them, add some item, and then send it on its merry way to somebody else.

You can request a box or even start one of your own picked by bingo 8 months ago

'Stench of life' prevents ants from being buried alive
Life really stinks for Argentine ants. New research shows that while alive, the ants produce two odoriferous chemicals that prevent their compatriots from immediately carting their bodies away to the 'morgue'.
