I see the ants go in a line and when i studied it well, i came to see that they stop and communicate in their language and then they carry on. They do the same for all the ants they meet going in the opposite direction. I think they are hellowing each other..haha.. I have noticed this all the time. What do you think they are doing when they are stopping while on a way in a line? have you noticed ants this way? Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

this is too funny! I guess I never really thought about it, but it's true! Maybe they are saying hello. Maybe they're asking each other directions, it would be really interesting if we could understand them more! If this were the case, I would have to tell the ants they had to go find food somewhere else other than my house or picnic or I could give them a friendly warning that I was going to go and get some ant killing spray if they didn't go away. Maybe we wouldn't have to spend the extra money on bug spray & could buy them a big bag of sugar they could have way out in the neighbors yard!! lol I would like it if my dogs could talk! Then I would understand exactly what they want instead of guessing.

well, i too have seen some ants like that, even some of them bit me. Now the ants in your house may be planning and thinking , about where riya would have kept all the sugar and other eatables ,as they already came to know you were watching them, or else they may be thinking about your next plan after seeing them.

hahha.. I will kill them all if they try to attack my eatables. I cannot drink or eat anything even if i find one ant in my food, tea or any other drinks. .. yeah the red ones bite haha. they bit me too so many times.. I hate those red ones..I like the black ones though, they are better. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

I think what the ants portray is communication...that constant communication is the key in order for us to reach our goals and ambitions in life.

very well said aabuda. I agree that communication to keep order helps reach destinations of great heights that could be beyond one's imagination. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

riyauro It shows you are not having big worries in your mind now and are able to appreciate other things in and around us. We can learn a lot from ants-- regularity, savings, orderliness, humbleness etc.

It was just scattered. we bought whole lot of furniture which are antique ones. you must be knowing the wood called shesham something. i am not sure of the correct name. so yeah it is very heavy and I lifted it all alone and kept it in one room. these are the ones extras. we bought 26 tables, 40 chairs and 6 other sleeper type chairs, I don't know what they are called ..and some other cane ones as well. now we have set in the rooms nicely for I feel little better since i can see some improvements haha. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

I guess its their way of coordination an communication with each others. They says that some ants are blinds, so I kust forming a straight line could be their way to have constant communication and wont able to lost contacts to everyone.

I have seen a lot of ants here in our house and they were no longer funny, they annoys us to the highest level. We even think that our house is ants house co's they are everywhere. From outside the house to the inside then kitchen and our bedrooms. No matter how we get rid of them they seems don't go away and they double each time we see them.

making sure they are members of the same ant hill, an enemy ant will normally be killed

pretty much, if an ant from another hill comes across the scent trail of another ant mound, they will turn around and go back

Hello again Riyauro. I didnt see this come to my email as a notification so I will gave to go see if we are friends or not. I have never actually studied ants closely enough to notice that they do this. When I was young I would go for walks with my grandfather and we would see enormous ant hills and I would throw rocks at them and watch as thousands of ants billowed out.

Hi riya Ants and me are together since so many months and sometimes I feel I stay in their den instead of them staying at mine They are everywhere - on the bed, in my computer, in that water filter and even sometimes in the food(okay let me tell you I love cakes, chocolates, coffee and chowmein - that is noodles here in India). Now as that we share such a close relationship, I am more better versed with what they say to each other when they meet on the line... they say - "I have looted xxx, xxx, xxx; now it is your turn"

yes that is true,they are inspiring because each of them has been really have discipline and we can see that when they marching in one line only,they are small but they know how to discipline their own self,and when they have face another ants they just stop and go walking again.

What values i can get from those ants parading were being so selfless and cooperation. They passed an information that some foods were stored in that certain storage or place and also giving information whether there were danger ahead. I love black ants than red ants.

Ants are moving in a line because when a forward petrol moving in one direction for food .They make ma mark or trail of their movement by secreting a glands in their back.Which is followed by others.this way the moved on behind other.in the mid way they communicate with other due confirmation of the direction & the group through the rubbing of antenna with each other.

when the ants going, they spread a chemical(i donot know what the chemical it is). With the smell of that chemical all the ants follow.
