nests are nearby. In fact, when Amazon ants have to migrate, they have
             these slaves do all the moving work, thus they are able to move very
             fast. 76
               Ants can defend themselves against even very large living beings due
             to their ability to leave traces. A good example of this is the ant’s strug-
             gle with the dragon fly. Ants who spot the dragon fly gather together
             thanks to their tracing systems, then they attack and kill it. In another
             example, they are able by the same method to beat a caterpillar that at-
             tacks another member of the colony even if it is much larger in size than
             themselves.
               It may seem normal for one living being to attack another or to fight
             with it for the purpose of defending its life, or for food. However, if a
             creature is acting together with others in its species while fighting the
             enemy, and if they communicate war tactics to each other, then we must
             inevitably focus on this subject.
               To decide upon tactics, to fight accordingly with a certain order and
             discipline, and to use a communication system to protect such order and
             discipline, are all acts that need intelligence, planning and judgement.
             For instance, today’s war strategies have been determined on the basis
             of the life-long experience of human beings. Army officers go through
             training in academies to learn such tactics. They also need specifically
             developed communication systems for the implementation of their
             strategies.
               However, the soldiers that we talked about above, who determine
             the discipline and attack tactics with chemical communication systems,
             who attack the enemy together and who, if necessary, sacrifice them-
             selves at times for other individuals of the army have not had any train-
             ing and do not have any accumulation of information. These beings we
             are talking about are ants that are only a few milimetres long and do not
             have the ability to think.

               MASTERS OF CAMOUFLAGE

               The secret of the ant species "Basiceros" was not solved until recent-
             ly. Researchers had come across these only once and had never found
             any ant similar to them again. Therefore, they were thought to be a very
             rare species.
