Question

Why won't an ant die when you put it under a suction cup and create a vaccuum?

Answer 1

that sounds cool i want to try that

Answer 2

Exoskeleton design gives them an amazing ability to pick up 50 times their weight right, seems logical to me that if their bodies can handle that kind of compression that they would be quite resistant to tension . (the force of a vacuum)

Answer 3

If you want to kill ants, Use a mix of cinnamon and sugar. The ants will pick up the sugar, along with the cinnamon, and take it back to their queen. Ants can’t digest cinnamon and once the queen dies from not being able to digest the cinnamon the colony will die without her.

Answer 4

well....the smarter ones carry these little oxygen tanks,too small for the naked eye..that way they can breath in situations like this...learned it from coal miners.
