Antarctic War
One of the most important causes of inter-colonial warfare is the difficulty of sharing food sources. In this kind of war, ant species that first find food usually win. This is because the ant colony that finds the food surrounds its food, so that other colonies can not reach the food. They also leave behind the smell, so that other colony members can not find the food through smell.

While some of the earliest worker ants reached the food sources carried out blockade operations, some colonists did not go directly to war. They returned to the nest while leaving a trace of smell along the way. When they arrive at the nest, they tell other members of the nest, by moving the body back and forth and touching another ant ante with its own antennae. With this cunning tactic, they gathered additional troops to help the guards.
In addition to the usual blockade held during the day, ants become very aggressive in times of famine to the point of killing each other. An ant colony can destroy other colonies within 10-14 days.
Another cause of war is when a colony enters the territory of another colony. Ants mark their colonies with pheromones. When other colonies entered the area, they recognized the pheromones that had been expelled from the previous colony, so they usually did not settle in the area. However, if this newly-arrived colony decides to stay, warfare can not be avoided.
In such a situation, the ant rangrang ran to the nearest leaf and left a certain secretion liquid. When he meets his friend, he tells us about the war that happened with certain movements. His friends responded to this call and moved into the war zone following the workers. Within half an hour, more than a hundred ants had reached the battlefield.
In short, ants live a sophisticated life, with their natural boundaries, security systems and information in the fight against danger, as well as strong enough troops to guard the entire colony. To build such a system and to educate members of the colony to obey it requires a power based on intelligence of thought, consciousness, and education. But there is no visible plan maker and education system in ant colonies. This system was designed by an invisible force and conferred on all ants since they first existed on this earth. In other words, the God who created the ants has chosen a complex defense system for them and inspired them the program they need to run this system.

um - like three laws - they are aware of this imbalance and are increasingly likely to fight. If the opposite condition occurs, they will retreat. The second method is "census" the enemy. If most of the opposing worker ants he meets are the major, his opponent's colony may be larger, since large colonies are usually old enough @muruawitne
