The Ants Have It Right


You've heard of worker ants, who dig tunnels... collectors, who go out in search of food... and the queen, of course, who rules the colony. But an anthill is a big place, and there are a lot more jobs to do.


Here are a few you've probably never heard of:


Garbage removers, who take "trash" out of the nest


Morticians, who remove dead ants


Explorers, who count their steps to figure out the way back home


Internet marketers, who work on building the list and executing product launches


Farmers, who herd and "milk" other bugs and cultivate fungus for food


(Okay. Just kidding about the Internet marketers. But the rest is true.)
