The animal world is full of killing, so when they sleep, they will hide in a safer place, we always see only what they do, when I was a child I wondered if these animals don't have to rest?
Modern society is an era of information explosion, we can easily see animals resting through the Internet, but such magical small creatures as ants, and are such interesting, industrious, busy creatures, or do we wonder if they also rest like other animals?
The answer is yes, ants are just organic beings, they will definitely rest, even the machine will have a time to recharge.
The abnormality of the ants is at rest
There is actually a lot of research on ants, and some people even think that the next creature to rule the earth may be ants, and now the total mass of ants on the earth may exceed that of humans, and far more than us in terms of quantity.
Scientists who study ants have found that in any particular colony, at any given time, there are always individuals standing still and doing nothing.
This can be an anomaly for industrious ants, who have been found to be just resting through a closer look.
Because, resting ants exhibit a loss of muscle tone and a decrease in sensitivity to stimuli, isn't that a sign of rest or aging?
To rule out aging, it can only be a rest. But they don't have a nervous system complex enough to show the different brainwave patterns humans exhibit during sleep, and they don't dream either.
At last
In addition, ants are not always industrious and inactive in cold temperatures, and many species will choose to hibernate in winter, because of the shortage of food in winter, they can only reduce activity (more rest) to reduce energy loss.
