Parental guidance
I've never seen a baby ant walking with its mother. I don't think I've even seen its sister or a brother. I see a lot of moms and pops, I watch them as they go to the office, home with groceries, rushing to and fro. Perhaps the little ants are kept under supervision, watching with adult consent selected television. For someone known as social insects they've an antisocial way, if ant parents never ever let the kids come out to play.
