Connors: Altruistic Behavior

Altruistic Behavior: Pavement Ants or Tetramonium Caespitum
Location: 42.252797,-71.643458
These pavement ants have buried themselves underneath the soil in my front yard. All morning they have been leaving the hole and returning with dead insects as food, all for the benefit of the queen ant, kept safe inside the burrow.
