As soon as you can verify that life has started more than one time in a single solar system (and we aren't near that really, but there is something worth looking into again) that means it's probably in many solar systems and BOOM you have to presume there are space ants since ants are the most logical and advanced creatures in Earth's ecosystem and the temporary dominance of vertebrates is an aberration.

They will arrive and study us I'm certain. "What a curious planet" they will say.

This is a process that orbits the ant form without ever being able to reach it.

@futurebird Will they be organized like we are -- with out bi-pedal work stations communicating through text, speech and visual communications? Or would they be more inclined to maintain their structure more hive-minded, with chambers of workers?

How do they communicate across the colony? DO they communicate across the colony? I know they respond to emergencies but do they... have little "Colony newsletters" where ants from one section requests and communicates what is going on in other sections for non-emergency?
