Why ants won’t jump from hights to shortcut their way?

646 views

Ants wont die from being dropped from any height, their weight to surface area is so low that the ant will never hit a velocity that is terminal, so my question is why they won’t just jump from heights to reach certain points faster? Are they scared of heights?

The same reason railroad trains don’t jump the tracks to make a shorter route. In the ant’s case the pheromone trail is the track.
