Please, share your favourite image of an ant carrying a leaf in this thread. Attached is an ant carrying a leaf that has an ant on it! Holy smokes!

An ant can lift 10 - 50 times their body weight, or maybe even more! They can also withstand pressures of up to 5,000 times its body weight, a normal person would need to withstand a weight equivalent to 900,000 pounds.

I wholeheartedly agree. What surprises is me is how our species lasted as long as it has. :blush:

the most interesting part is breeding!

Ants: all for the female queen, the only breeder, one with over a million offspring
Humans: I can do it!
