Went fishing last night. Lake is 15 miles from home. Bought back lots of ants on my fishing luggage. Brushed in back garden.
Do they..
A. Have the ability to procreate and start a new colony.
B. Live a miserable, directionless, life of solitude.
C. Try and attempt the impossibly long journey back. (believe they navigate using the sun).
D. Join a nearby colony ( unlikely, pheromones?)
E. Die
F. Other
According to a bugs life (1998) they will form a democracy, elect a queen, and make a new colony to fight an army of invading grasshoppers.
they will spend a few days digging some tunnels to hide in, then they will get bored, stop working and die.
They didn't bring their queen with them to raid your fishing gear. They didn't bring any males or future queens either. They will have no eggs to tend, no larvae to feed, no bustling colony to forage for. As the workers, they can forage for themselves too easily to have to work much.
They are the equivalent of retired, never-married, middle class women with no kids.
