yes, i believe ants live a much better life than us humans, not
individually, but as a whole.
ants live in massive colonies of millions of individuals, much like
humans, but they're very much more united than us. there is one
queen, one leader. everyone obeys, not because they decide to obey,
but because they want to.
chemicals produced between ants help tell the others which ant
belongs in the same colony as them.
ants also have interactive teaching, meaning an ant leader would
show a newbie ant new places and teach him where to hunt for
resources. the leader and learner are very close, almost like the
relationship between teacher and student in human society.
then, there is great teamwork. every ant, except the male/female
drones, have to work, each of them contributing to the success of
the colony.
ants have nurseries, storage dumps, waste dumps, queen's chamber in
their colonies, like humans do.
they also live very similiar lives to ours.
