Longjohn ★ Posted May 17, 2022 Share #2 Posted May 17, 2022 Ants eat, sleep, drink beer, and ride motorcycles. Where do you think the old phrase “If brains were gas, he wouldn’t have enough to start a piss ant’s motorcycle” came from? 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution jsharr ★ Posted May 17, 2022 Solution Share #3 Posted May 17, 2022 YES, THEY DO - but not in the sense we understand sleep. Research conducted by James and Cottell into sleep patterns of insects (1983) showed that ants have a cyclical pattern of resting periods which each nest as a group observes, lasting around eight minutes in any 12-hour period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted May 18, 2022 Share #6 Posted May 18, 2022 They must sleepwalk, too because I've been occasionally finding, about once a week, one ant in my kitchen, one ant in my living room, one ant in my bathroom, etc.: no long lines of ants headed to nearby food, etc. like the piece of onion that fell on the floor but I didn't notice it until I moved the trashcan.

Probably just looking for their pillows. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
