So I know there are some ants who build a floating raft, but of the ground dwelling species how do they not get inundated?
In: Biology
water at their scale works rather differently. things like surface tension are appreciable. it’s entirely possible for them to dig and walk through tunnels water cannot flow through. they can also pick up globules of water and carry them around.
it’s also worth knowing that, while they can certainly drown, ants in an air pocket can actually get oxygen from diffusion.
