       I'm getting a lot of flack for calling ants without agriculture "hunter gatherer ants" but I think its totally valid and will NOT be stopping.

       @futurebird but "forager" is shorter and doesn't give undue primacy to hunting.

       @llewelly Ok valid. I just like to encroach on terms that some tend to unconsciously think are for "humans only"Agriculture and hunting and gathering do not require "human intelligence" there are alternate ways to use these collective strategies.

       @futurebird oh, well, I can agree with that.It does bring to mind a question: Are there any ants who practice irrigation? (Not including humidity control of the nest, which as far as I know they all do.)

       @llewelly @futurebird do the agrarian ants ever think they could get in better shape on a Paleo ant diet?

       @llewelly  Some nests are used to use the frequent rains to drain waste to a composting sewer chamber while keeping the main nest dry as water flows around it. https://sauropods.win/@futurebird/110593963795426723

       @futurebird They really do use all the strategies.
