In the long tradition of awesome people hanging out with each other, this is a video of Mark Twain made by Thomas Edison. This silent film footage was taken in 1909 by Thomas Edison at Mark Twain’s estate
OPEN CULTURE The Only Footage of Mark Twain in Existence “This behaviour is mediated by smell: ants of different species, and even those from different nests of the same species, present a different “bouquet” of odours, and ant workers usually behave aggressively to those who smell different,” he said. “If you place ants of different species in a jar, they will generally behave aggressively to individuals of the opposite species, regardless of whether the jar is shaken or not,” Ward told AFP on October 23, 2021. Ward, told AFP the post “sounds dubious” and said that he was not aware of experiments pitting black ants and fire ants against each other in a jar. Professor of Entomology from University of California Davis, Philip S. Even though they look identical to us, the ants can “smell” outsiders,” Loch said on October 28, 2021. “We would also expect to see aggressive behaviour with ants of the same species from two different colonies. “The level of aggression will vary with species (there are over 15,000 named ant species, so there would be variation), how frequent the contact is, and how long they have been separated from the rest of their colony, but it’s highly unlikely that “nothing would happen”,” she explained.
Multiple experts also explained that the scenario described in the posts is inaccurate.Įntomologist from James Cook University, Associate Professor Lori Lach, told AFP that regardless of whether you shake a jar containing two species of ants, they will likely be aggressive toward each other.
