It's like slaves building the pyramids: get enough of them, and they can haul almost anything.</p><p>They're so numerous, the total weight of the world's ants roughly equals the weight of humanity.</p><p>Their numbers make them a natural insecticide...able to exterminate an entire patch of ground...at least till they move on.</p>",
