1. Ants go crazy when you blow in the ant farm.
2. Ants have no lungs. They breathe through their "skin". Don't ask, I don't know how.
3. Ants move their dead to a pile and then bury them.
4. If an ant dies in a tunnel they close the tunnel to entrap the dead ant.
5. Ants sleep standing up.
6. Female ants who are fertile grow wings and fertile male ants grow wings too. They mate in the air and then they pull their wings off and lay their eggs in the ground.
7. Female ants don't come in the pack when you buy an ant farm.
8. Ants die quickly when they live with other ants who have died.
9. Ants that die after two weeks they get this white foam on them.
10. Growing butterflies is much more fun than ants!!!
No they are not all dead yet. But they have stopped tunneling because all the tunnels have dead ants in them.
