I've actually noticed it too, especially where I served. My inquisitive mind made me study their life cycle process then, first hand.

They're probably better than humans cos ants don't kill each other. angry

Yet they won't go to heaven when they die, according to the whole Judaism religion. Why undecided

Nice and interesting story

Male ants often have only one role — mating with the queen. After they have performed this function, they may die. Ants communicate and cooperate by using chemicals that can alert others to danger or lead them to a promising food source. They typically eat nectar, seeds, fungus, or insects. However, some species have diets that are more unusual. Army ants may prey on reptiles, birds, or even small mammals. They may live for several years.
If you give a live ant a bath in oleic acid, it is
as good as dead to the other ants. The still
alive (but oleic acid covered) ant is carried off
to the dead ant pile, trying to clean itself,
flailing around, perhaps screaming “um, hey
guys, I’m fine,” to no avail. If you smell like a
corpse, sorry little buddy, you’re a corpse. Into
the pile with you.
