Why do ants move before it rains?

Ants will not only move before it rains, but also move during the drought!

Ants can predict the humidity of the air. When they feel that the humidity is too high, they know that it is going to rain, so they must move to a safer place. Ants migrate from lowlands to highlands to avoid being flooded by rain.

When ants feel too dry, they know that there will be drought, and they will move to wet places. Ants migrate from highlands to lowlands to avoid dehydration and death.

Highlands are often exposed to wind and sun, and the moisture in the soil is not suitable for ants to settle in rainy days; The lowlands are closer to the groundwater level than the highlands, and they store water every time it rains. Relatively speaking, in drought, lowlands are wetter and wetter than uplands, which is suitable for ants to settle in dry days.

Ant is an insect, alias Ant, Hymenoptera, Ephemera, belonging to Arthropoda, Insecta, Hymenoptera and Formicidae. There are many kinds of ants, including 1 1700 species in the world and 283 genera of 2 1 subfamily. More than 600 species have been identified in China.
