[Fact] Translucent Ants

This is cool about ants. Dr Babu, from Mysore, in South India has doing this research about the ants abdomen. He said ; As the ant's abdomen is semi-transparent, the ants gain the colors as they sip the liquid. For this experiment, he drop a liquid contained sugar with a different color blue, yellow, red and green. Before this experiment, her wife showed he some ants had turned white after drinking split milk.

In this experiment, he found that most of the ant's are preferred light colors, yellow and green. The darker green and blue drops had no takers, till there was no space around the preferred yellow and green drops. So, he put larger drops of yellow and green, and smaller red and blue, to get maximum saturation around all the colors. 

The saying 'you are what you eat' is true for these insects as stunning pictures show their abdomens changing color as they sip on sugar drops.

What a interesting experiment!

why i didn't think this before.
