Why do ants die in sugar and water⁉️
Ants, like other land-based animals, derive their oxygen from air and will drown after a certain period when submerged in water. Some species such as the fire ant, however, have adaptations that allow them to form living rafts after evacuating their nests, drastically increasing their survivability during floods.
