Incredible Floating Fire Ants Help to Develop Waterproof Materials and New RoboticsThe Solenopsis Invicta -- also known as the red fire ant -- has recently become an unlikely partner in the research of waterproof materials and robotics. The ants, which are incredibly resilient, have developed the ability to team together to form a raft to survive the flooding of their habitat. The entire colony links arms and legs and floats above the water's surface - incredibly, even the ants on the bottom layer stay dry!...<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/incredible-floating-fire-ants-help-develop-waterproof-materials-and-new-robotics/'>READ ARTICLE</a>1
