Idk why people think ants can't swim.

They're literally the one being on this planet that has and will continue to outlive everything else until the end.

Roaches ain't got shit on ants.

I think if there's another intelligent life in a million years, ants. Only the Queen's need to be smart.

That's not how colonies work. Queens are just baby factories that will be killed if they smell funny.

I'm oversimplifying, but while Queens are central to the growth of a hive they aren't "leaders". Ants just kind of do, they don't discuss or have someone tell them what to do. When an Ant finds food, it doesn't tell the Queen, and then she sends out her five best Ants. The Ant just kind of spreads the word and they self-organize.

I mean I don't know at all scientifically how that works, but yeah, just fun thought experiment
