A quick video I shot today with narration about the newest member of the colony... being a young ant can be hard. Your older and often smaller sisters think they know where you belong and they can be very brusk about pulling you around if you are in the wrong place!
Pulled along by the mandible by a smaller, but older sister. I think she was worried about such a young naive ant being in the room where I was shining light to film them.
I wonder if I had some plastic tweezers and if I tried to gently pull an ant along like this would she follow? Or would it just scare her since the tweezers would not have the right pheromones?
Or maybe she can see her sister and that's important?
