Why would God set the example of an animal as tiny as the ant to teach human beings?
Go to the ant, oh lazy,
Look at his ways, and be wise;
Which having no captain,
Neither governor, nor sir,
Prepare your food in the summer,
And it collects in the time of the harvest its maintenance.
(Proverbs 6: 6-7-8)
God set her as an example, not because of her strength, but because of her Planification, Dedication and Constancy.

The communication between ants is produced by volatile chemical signals that they perceive with smell and soluble substances that distinguish with taste. These substances are called pheromones and are stored in special exocrine glands.

Ants and Man
Although these animals cause discomfort when they invade our home, however, they perform many ecological functions that are beneficial to humans, including the suppression of pest populations and soil aeration. The use of weaver ants in citrus growing in southern China is considered one of the oldest known applications of biological control.
Some ants of the Ponerinae family have toxic venom and are of medical importance. Species include Paraponera clavata and Dinoponera spp. of South America and the ants Myrmecia of Australia.
In South Africa, ants are used to help in the harvest of rooibos (Aspalathus linearis), small seeds that are used to make herbal tea. The plant disperses its seeds widely, making manual harvesting difficult. Black ants collect and store these and other seeds in their nest, where humans can gather them en masse. You can collect up to half a pound (200 g) of seeds from an anthill.
