About this listen

Ants build structures. Ants wage war. Ants even do agriculture. But ants also live in large, organized colonies that experience challenges, disagreements, and even natural disasters. This begs the question:

Do ants vote?

Seriously, are humans the only ones to figure this out (kinda)? Do ants have their own form of democracy? Do other animals? Is there an ant George Washington?

We interview Dr. Aaron Fairweather, an entomologist specializing in ants, to find out more about our 20 quadrillion closest friends (that's how many ants there are on earth. Crazy, right?).

Want more nature facts from Aaron? You can find them on Bluesky, X, or email them at fairweaa@uoguelph.ca

And you can follow Frick, I Love Nature on Instagram, YouTube & TikTok. You can follow our nature newsletter here.
