Take a lesson from the ants, you lazybones. Learn from their ways and be wise! Even though they have no prince, governor, or ruler to make them work, they labor hard all summer, gathering food for the winter.Proverbs 6:6-8
I find myself watching ants even when I was a child, i am truly trying to learn from these amazing small creatures. I love the aspect of God's character where He uses the seemingly foolish things to shame or challenge those who think themselves wise.
Ant Facts:
An ant's brain may have the same processing power as a Macintosh II computer. Thousands of years ago, King Solomon wrote: "Go to the ant, consider its ways and be wise". There are over 10000 known species of ants. Some ants sleep seven hours a day! Ants can lift 20 times their own body weight. An ant brain has about 250 000 brain cells. A human brain has 10,000 million so a colony of 40,000 ants has collectively the same size brain as a human. The abdomen of the ant contains two stomachs.
One stomach holds the food for itself and second stomach is for food to be shared with other ants. Ants are clean and tidy insects. Some worker ants are given the job of taking the rubbish from the nest and putting it outside in a special rubbish dump! Each colony of ants has its own smell. In this way, intruders can be recognized immediately. If a man could run as fast for his size as an ant can, he could run as fast as a racehorse. The average life expectancy of an ant is 45-60 days. If a worker ant has found a good source for food, it leaves a trail of scent so that the other ants in the colony can find the food.Things i have learned from watching ants lately.
