Farming isn’t done by humans alone. It may seem unusual, yet it is the case. Farming is also practiced by other ant species, but on a lower scale. Just in a different way, apterostigma, or fungus-growing ants, also grow food.

Apterostigma ants reside with their fungal garden in a small hole or sheltered place." The ants carry seeds, insect droppings, or other detritus and deposit it on the mushroom growth in these particular areas, which are frequently found in or beneath logs. But despite how messy it all seems, the ants maintain their garden.

Our ability to comprehend species of organisms depends on our understanding of the evolutionary processes that result in biological diversity and our ability to create useful tools for species identification. It is essential for both biologists and the general public to comprehend what species are and how to recognise them. Understanding animals like ants helps us realise that there are extremely intelligent beings living among us. Perhaps intelligence is the insects we find in our back gardens and not some cyborg.
