The whole arrangement of a Formicarium, or ant-colony, and all the varied activity of ant-life, are directed to one main purpose - -the perpetuation and dissemination of the species. Most of the labour which we see performed by the workers has for its end the sustenance and welfare of the young brood, which are helpless grubs. - Henry Walter Bates
