ELI5, If you take a random ant from a colony and put it 20 meters away, will it find way “home”? Also, if you put an ant so far away from the colony, that it won’t be able to go back, will it survive on its own?
In: 128
20 meters is possible to get back home, the ant will wander until he cross the trail of chemicals that other ants from his colony leave behind (so they can get back home).
If you take an ant really far, it will never get back. He will try to find food and water, and he will keep looking for its home until somebody eats him.
