The man caught an ant queen by the river. After a period of time, a super shocking scene happened!

The reproductive capacity of ants is known to be powerful, and the birth of a nest of ants is all due to the queen. There is only one queen in an ant nest. The queen is the largest relative to other ants, and generally does not appear. It's just responsible for breeding.

But have you ever seen how the queen lays eggs? A netizen accidentally caught a queen by the pool and put it in a test tube to observe how the queen builds a huge ant empire.

This big belly is the queen.

I took it home and put it in a test tube with a little water.

It didn't take long for it to start laying eggs.

The eggs slowly become larvae and pupae.

See the ant? It's a little transparent.

Then these little ants come out!

The queen continued to lay eggs, and the colony grew bigger and bigger every day.

The little ants also help the queen take care of and carry the newly laid eggs.

There are more and more ants.

It's crawling all over the test tube.

After a period of time, the tube will not fit. I had to give them a new home.

Now I have a little ant empire!

Ants do their jobs.

It's developing so fast that it's estimated that it will have to change to a new home in the future & hellip;

Isn't it amazing? The queen has a life span of 20 years, but it takes the help of other ants to survive so long. I can't imagine how many ant empires a queen can produce in 20 years time & hellip; I have to sigh the magic of nature.
