I really am in love with this topic
That is strange as the only time I heard of ants going back to a nest in a disorderly fashion is what you give them a fresh chocolate bar, it is like they become drunk with sugar and do not fully comprehend their own pheromone trails.
As for why they are pushing only the fire ants away is because they could have already discovered they are a massive threat and instead of falling victim, they had a chance to be the dominant species and took it. Personally I would not argue if one ant species was keep fire ants away from my front door hahaha.
And finally, from my own experience with wild colonies. I have seen colonies leave random workers alone and left them to their business, but I have watched the same colony have a field day with their drones and queen during their flights. My conclusion is a long time ago ants discovered that although a single worker may be a waste of energy for just a small feed, it would seem they know for a fact that queen's and drones are fair game, which makes sense since the queen would have all the proteins needed to produce an egg and the drones are full of **** which would also be packed full of protein and what to larvae need? Lots and lots of protein.
Also I am loving their handy work with these crators, maybe they stop after a car hits them because they could have taken note that it was not a natural incident and could happen continuously making it a nuisance for the ants.
