their brain, far smaller than a poppy seed has been endowed by “evolution” 😉
with human-quality intelligence and planning!
THE FARMER ANT
The parasol ant of South America, picture it in overalls, with a strand of straw in its mouth as it surveys it’s crops:
The workers of this species clip large quantities of leaves from the forest and bring them back to the nest. These leaves are not eaten by the ants, but buried in a huge complex of underground chambers. As the leaves turn to compost, the ants seed them with their favorite type of fungus. They tend this fungus crop with great care, even weeding it to get rid of less desirable species. After a while, the fungus is harvested and eaten.
