Ants

are

land.

An

estimated

worldwide, they 41 very roughly the same as all of humanity. They live everywhere except on

icy mountain peaks and around the Poles. From underground to treetops, they capture and eat

insects and clear away small dead bodies. Although their 12,000 known species 42only about 1.

4 percent of the world’s insect species, their share of the collective body weight is easily ten

times greater.

Ants are important for more than their environmental impact. They also43 social behavior as

fantastic as any we may ever hope to find on another planet. For most of each year ant colonies

consist only of 44

：

queens that reproduce for the colony and worker ants that conduct all the

labor. Males are bred and kept for short periods

，

45 for the insemination (

受精）

of queens.

The communication systems of ants are radically nonhuman. Where we use sound and sight,

they depend primarily on pheromones (

信肩、

素）

，

46 produced by individuals and smelled or

tasted

by

other

ants.

Since

the

brain

of

an

ant

weighs

less

than

as

much

as

a

human brain, it is not surprising that a given species produces just ten or twenty 47 . Unlike

human language, these messages are entirely instinctual.

These marvelous little creatures have been on Earth for more than 140 million years. The

easily exist longer than humanity if we should spoil our own environment.
