Before God created πŸ’₯ man, he created 🐜 Ants first 😲
***"All started 120 million years ago..."***

Yes, you heard it right.  
It's a long way back in time / history, so we will quickly jump 120 million years back. 

***...THEN LET'S GO...***  πŸš€

 Here, we find one of the first species of Ants, that populated the world. They were called ***"Ants from Mars."*** 

No, they didn't come actually from Mars!  πŸŒ‘

Yes, the name ***Ant from Mars,*** sounds pretty "out of space," but the name was given them, because of their **unusual behavior** in compare to existing species of Ants. There scientific name is - **Martialis heureka**  - still sounds weird, but the weirdest thing is, that the worker Ants are blind... 😯 

**OH** ***NOOO***... ❺ ... ❹ ... ❸ ... ❷ ... ❢ ... AND...

**"Sippin on Gin and Juice"** / Black Ant (Lasius niger) or just common black Ant 🐜

Now we have more than 22,000 species and over 16,000 are classified and colonised almost every landmass on earth. 
Today, Ants represent between 15% - 20% of all land biomass of animals. 🐜 Jap,🐜 everywhere. 🐜 Oh, almost everywhere.  Antarctica is the only true "Ant FREE zone..." πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ά    

πŸ“š ***...BUT, DID YOU KNOW...*** πŸ“–
Ants are **eusocial** insect. Essentially, that means my [hornetfly](https://steemit.com/insects/@marjanko/weird-looking-bee-it-s-not-a-bee-hm) and other [wasps](https://steemit.com/steemstem/@marjanko/black-spider-wasp-the-hunter-from-the-pompilidae-family) and [bees](https://steemit.com/macrophoto-challenge/@marjanko/my-entry-for-the-7-days-macro-photography-challenge-2-by-flamingirl-day-2?fbclid=iwar1-eicu3f9aaex2aq8hbggt0qgbalo__rd_pbp3wnlw06cvvajh8aie8rk), belong to the same family - Hymenoptera. 🐝

Will be, a story for the next time or better yet, I will try to make a ***Ants series.*** 🐜 It would be about species, which live "with me" / in my area (Austria & Slovenia) ...What do you think about the idea ? πŸ€” ...For now, I hope you enjoyed the photo and have learned something new, so if you are excited to see more amazing content, don't forget to follow meπŸ‘
