why ants move in a straight line. Not only did I find out the chemistry behind this exclusiveness but also went ahead to ponder on its implication and lessons that humans must learn from this genius of a species.
When ants want to gather food, each, from their colony goes in search of its source. Inside the body of ants is a chemical called pheromones. Pheromones are like scents with a strong smell. So, as ants disperse from their habitat in search of food, each will leave a trail of pheromones along its route. On returning, they follow the smell of the trail back to their habitat. The trail of pheromones is what takes them back to their origin of start. As a result, no ant strays. Any ant that goes for food but finds nothing, comes back home to see if fellow colleagues have been successful. If they have, they join in gathering food from that source.
The interesting bit is this: more than one ant may find different sources of food. If an ant finds a source of food, it picks a crumb, and comes back home. As it goes back to that source, it leaves additional pheromones, picks another crumb, and comes back to base. As it goes again to the source of food, it leaves another trail of pheromones. The summary is that anytime it goes to its source of food, it keeps leaving pheromones. These additional pheromones make the smell stronger.

When the ants walks the ants body leaves a chemical substance and each ants smelling that substance follows one another and thus they move in a straight line.
