No problem, Dr. Z.
There is a saying in Bangla "
একতাই বল" which can be loosely translated as: "Unity is Strength" to me, the ant colony epitomizes just that.
The reason why Ants are so interesting to study is because Ants have communities just like human beings, Their family/society structure is just like human civilization, It is their own little world(subhanAllah!), I do not know of other creatures in the animal kingdom who resemble the human society...
