It works hard, carries ten times its weight, and cooperates with its fellow species.

“Go to the ant, you lazy one; see its ways and become wise,” admonishes Solomon. What wisdom can we gain from the ways of a little ant? The king answers: “Although it has no commander, officer or ruler, it prepares its food even in the summer; it has gathered its food supplies even in the harvest.” Proverbs 6:6-8.
Ants are marvelously organized and remarkably cooperative with one another. Instinctively, they gather food supplies for the future. They have “no commander, officer or ruler.” True, the queen ant is there, but she is queen only in the sense that she lays eggs and is the mother of the colony. She gives no commands. Even with no foreman to drive them or supervisor to check on them, the ants keep tirelessly at their work.
Like the ant, should we not also be industrious? Working hard and striving to improve in our work is good for us whether we are being monitored or not. Yes, in school, at our place of employment, and while sharing in spiritual activities, we should do our best. As the ant benefits from its industriousness, so God wants us to ‘see good for all our hard work.’ A clean conscience and personal satisfaction are the rewards of hard work.

Consider the ant. What does the ant do? It works to provide for itself and for its family. It is wise to live a busy yet prudent life.

ants work hard
they move on the same path.
the ants that are without a load make way for those most laden.
The load that is too difficult to carry usually more than one ant carry it.
I guess that makes makes 'em very wise ants!!

We can spray formic acid on our molesters. Beware of anteaters and their long sticky tongues. Leaf cutter ants have very radical views. Let us learn from our brother the ant!

The female ants are infertile, except for the queen.
Bad example, bad example.
