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

628 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?

Ants leave and follow chemical trails. They don’t operate as individuals. An ant that jumps to create a ‘shortcut’ is not leaving a trail for other ants to follow, meaning the jumping ant is the only one that got the shortcut and now it has no trail to follow.
