I share with you something that I found very interesting, after cutting leaves one of the stems fell from the artificial tree I have in my tank but was holding for an ant and thus formed a "bridge" shortening the path to the apple that had available. Two other ants then added to help support the stem.
Here is a video where you can see this.
Sorry for my bad english

Re: Ant bridge
If Im being honest I do not tink they were holding a bridge for the other ants, knowing they were helping. I think it is more likely that they were holding an item that was a potential load to carry bac to the nest and wunable to move it. What do you think?
