The Utilitarian Reality of Ants

I am guessing that ants have no aesthetic concept of beauty. Pheromones are the essence of their romance. Many colonies have both worker and soldier ants. The soldier ants look like demonic dragons and the worker ants resemble nightmare aliens. I figure they all have trap jaws that can crush tanks their own size or larger. I assume the worker ants have armored dungarees. Mindless yet with one mind they cultivate, pillage, and destroy. Some love ants for their mighty works in the insect world, yet most would rather forget and shun them accept of course the Anteaters.
