Ants Paving a Bridge With Gravel [Time Lapse Video]

From Horace Zeng:

Another remarkable example of tool use in ants: fire ants “paving” sticky surfaces. I’ve seen signs of this behavior, but I didn’t expect it to be so robust until my friend told me about it (see more in Wen et al., 2021 Insect Science). You can try it yourself by putting a piece of paper with tape on a healthy fire ant mount (disturb them a little to make the process faster).

DEAL: Elden Ring is On Sale (PS5 Version)

Elden Ring is amazing, and frankly, it’s not as difficult as a lot of people say over the Internet. All you need to do is do a little rune farming to level up and it gets a lot easier. Sure, you will still die a lot, but when it happens, you’ll usually start back just a few minutes / seconds away from the spot where you last died.

If you have a PS5 and are looking to purchase the game, Amazon currently has it on sale for just $49.40, which is cheap considering that you could spend over 100 hours (if you take your time) playing it.
