Mikey_Bustos: Following a worker carrying food into the nest (Video) (18. Jul 2009 17:15)

Hey guys,

I decided to create this neat video while I was making some small renovations to the feeding area. This video follows an ant carrying a piece of food back to the nest. Watch the interesting occurrences that happen as the ant is carrying the food back (e.g. obvioius scent trailing, informing of oncoming ants of the food that lies beyond) and as the food is brought into a chamber in the nest and distributed around for other workers to eat, all while more workers are constantly bringing in more food. I found it so fascinating!

The ants had a special morsel of cooked shrimp tonight. They broke it up into tiny pieces and carried them back to the nest and had to film it! Enjoy!

Great vid, I love the way she gets jumped for food as soon as she reaches the colony.
