Do you know how ants talk to each other?

Question

We know only about our vocal communication.There are other forms of communication among animals. Ants, like many other animals communicate with each other by releasing odors(pheromones) that are species specific for each function.Ants release about ten different chemical substances. These are enough to regulate their entire community behavioral activities. These odors are used for recognising food,dead ants, intruders,sexual mates, etc.Through these means they are living successfully on this planet for the past several million years.Much longer than us!.Should we also adopt this method.

Answer 1

Yes I know ..& we have adopted this method much earlier ..using this technology, we train dogs to identify the criminals & drug mafia.



We are specially blessed with brains by the Almighty God ...with the help of which we can survive in a better way & we are doing that.

Answer 2

A lot of people communicate with odors they buy in expensive little bottles. All I get out of it is stopped up sinus. A lot of others get the wrong message.

Answer 3

All about communication of ants so that you might differentiate and make out that is not possible for us,THE HUMANS

My friend you have thought something really innovative but i think even if we want we can't communicate like them.Respect and thank God that he gave us the utter privilage of speaking,the best way of communicating on this earth.Ants' communication is a good way for them but complex humans can't do it.
