How would ants react to chili sauce? We know it's spicy to mammals, but not to birds, which is why you can keep squirrels out of the bird feeder by adding pepper seeds. Insects are a whole nother question. From the video, we learn that they are attracted to a dab of Sriracha sauce, because it's red and it smells good. As you might guess, the first ants to try it are rather shocked. From there, you will never guess what the other ants do. YouTuber eLapse specializes in time-lapse videos, not ants, and was surprised himself when these bugs did their thing. Ants are smarter than you might think, and always have the welfare of the entire colony in mind. -via Digg
Very interesting! It should be tested on fire-ants, too!
