What agricultural proverbs do you think of when you see swarms of ants?

After listening to this sentence, I have a question: Why do ants move before it rains? As we all know, ants are creatures with low IQ, and their biological consciousness lags far behind that of human beings. Ants are so small that you can hardly see them without looking carefully, but the ant family is huge and breeds rapidly. On rainy days, you will see swarms of ants on the road. Why do ants move before it rains? What does it use to predict the weather? Is it with your eyes? People say that mice are nearsighted, but ants have worse eyesight than mice. It's good to see something a few meters away, so ants can't predict the weather with their eyes. So what is the prediction based on? With this question, I consulted a doctor of computer science and finally understood what was going on. It turns out that there is a kind of flying ant in the ant family, called flying ant. Before it rains, there will be many small drops of water on the wings of flying ants. When flying ants know it's going to rain, they fly around in the sky to spread the news of rain, so ants know it's going to rain and start to act. In addition, some people say that it will rain when ants seal the hole. There is some truth in this sentence. Ants seal holes before it rains because they feel the changes of natural conditions such as air pressure and temperature. The reason why they want to seal the hole is to prevent rain from pouring into it. From this point of view, there are more than one way for ants to forecast the weather. Predicting the weather according to the water drops on the wings of flying ants also inspires people to dig a small pit on the flat ground, put a clean glass in the pit, observe the number of water drops on the glass, and judge whether there is rain and the size of the rain. This is the secret of ants moving. Have fun! The animal kingdom is really amazing. Not only ants can predict the weather, but many creatures have other special abilities that are helpful to human progress. Studying the special functions of animals is not only interesting but also useful. I want to grow up quickly, become a biologist and study more interesting phenomena.
