    Seeing this problem, I just want to say: your idea is very dangerous, and doing so is tantamount to sentencing this ant to a "death sentence", because the ant that is released into another colony will definitely be bitten to death. Why? Let's take a brief look at the habits of ants.

    Ant. Ants are one of the most common animals in our daily lives, and they are almost everywhere, even in reinforced concrete cities, where it only takes a bent movement to find an ant. There are more than 15,000 species of ants in existence, and they are distributed on all continents except Antarctica, and there are more than 600 species of ants in China alone.

    Ants are very social animals, they live in groups and have a clear division of labor. Each colony is made up of 5 parts: queen, male, female, worker and soldier.

    The queen ant is the leader of the entire colony, and it is different from the leader of other animals in that it is only responsible for mating with the male ants to reproduce offspring, which is the same as the queen bee of the bee. The male ant is responsible for mating with the queen, the female ant is usually used as a reserve for the queen, the worker ant is responsible for building the entire nest, finding food and feeding the larvae, and the soldier ant is the "war**" to defend the colony.

    Although ants also have vision, but its visual system is not developed, only one-tenth of human vision, in order to make up for the shortcomings of vision, it has evolved a super sense of smell, which allows it to smell the smell of organic matter dozens of meters away, which is convenient for them to find food and companions.

    Hello! Ants are very social insects, but they do not communicate through language. They communicate through "pheromones" emitted by their bodies.

    When ants find food, they will spread "pheromones" on the food, and other ants will instinctively carry things back with "pheromones".

    After ants die, because they still have "pheromones" on their bodies, other ants will also carry them back as food. Even if their corpses are brought back, they will not end up being eaten as food. This is because, in addition to "pheromones", ants also have their own specific things that identify odors, and things with this smell will be considered companions and will not be attacked.

    Ants are well-organized animals, and they have many things in common with bees. They distribute food to each other, their bellies emit the smell of pheromones, and their antennae touch each other to transmit information, all necessary for leading a regular group life. Therefore, they are classified as social insects.

    Ant carcasses emit a "death stench" that allows neighboring ant colonies to drag dead ants away. If the body fluids of the dead ants are squeezed on the live ants, the live ants in the nest will desperately drag it away until the smell is gone.

    The reason why ants remove the carcasses of their own kind is because they believe that the carcasses of their own kind can be used as food, and that sending the carcasses of the same kind to the queen ant can replenish the queen's nutrition.

    Carrying their corpses is mistaking their dead companions for food. Ants have a set of glands in their bodies, and their bodies emit various pheromones that are used for communication between their companions. When an ant dies, it is unable to communicate with its companions and is transported as food by its companions.

When ants find food, they will spread pheromones on the food, other ants will instinctively carry the food back, and dead ants also have pheromones, so the ants will carry the corpses of their companions. Of course, the removed ant carcasses will not be eaten as food, because the ants have a special smell, and things with this smell will be considered companions by the ants and will not be attacked by the ants.

    Because it is their food, and they are very hygienic, they usually send a certain signal to drag the food back into the hole according to the smell on their bodies, and pay attention to environmental hygiene, so they often drag the corpses of insects.

    When an ant dies, its companions drag him away because they mistake the dead ant for food and drag it to the nest.

    Most ants will remove the corpse of their deceased companion. The ant senses that its companion is food at this point, so it drags it away like food. It is undeniable that some ants died at the hands of their own kind.

    For example, some old, weak, sick and disabled ants will be disposed of for the development of their own ant family.

    There are special glands in the ant's body, and the role of the gland is particularly large, and even the ants communicate with each other by relying on the pheromones it secretes. When ants find food, they leave food pheromones on its surface, and their companions' tentacles touch the food, they receive this information, and then cooperate to move the food away.
