New ant museum offers a lesson in ethics and order in modern life

Thailand's first ant museum is now open to visitors who are curious about how the ''super-organism'' can teach humans lessons about life. ''An ant's nature is simple but full of order and ethics, which human beings can learn from,'' said Ant Museum curator Decha Wiwatwittaya.

''If Thais perform our duty and hold on to morality as firmly as do the ants, our country will be filled with happiness and development,'' he said.

Does anyone have any experience of this?

To me, ants seem to act like a bunch of Communists. Also, who knows what goes on deep down in the burrow at night. There well could be several chrome pole emporiums, nectar bars, and six hands massage houses. Pete Cheers

If these super-organisms lives are so ordered and ethical, you would think that they would set there sights a bit higher than the rubbish bag in my kitchen!
They're no match for Baygon anyway.

This is true, only yesterday I single handedly dismembered a neighbour and carried home the pieces to feed my children.

Extremely bloody lucky that they haven't grown bigger as with our ( humanoids ) complete lack of organisation as a unit, they would wipe us out within a few months given the chance.

Thank Christ for size differentiation between organisms. Cheers

Ants use feramone to lay down trails, when they find food they travel back along the same trail back to the nest. This trail is then twice as strong, next ant recognises this and travels along it to the food (the trail gets stronger) all the ants then follow the strong feramone trail making the trail really strong until the food is gone. Simple yet effective.... Shocked
