How smart are insects really? Chimps are known for being the smartest animals on earth but what makes them speical?Do they build,do they farm, do they capture slaves do they wage war?I don't think so.
There is no other animal that can do any of that!Besides US...or insects.
Check this interesting link:http://quotations.hubpages.com/hub/Intelligent_Ants
Anyway, Ants,Wasps,Termites,Bees all do things that we do.
They farm
They wage war

Some ants,termites and even bees have their own battle tatics.
What really is intelligence?Is intelligence about having a big brain or how you use it?We have more things incommon with insects then chimps, thats a fact.I will have to say that insects are smarter then what ppl think.
seriously though, what other animal would deliberately sacrifice him/her self for a ruler(their queen) or city(their colony), other animals flee if they get injured.Not ants or termites they'll stay and fight untill they drop.
As a further note.Yes ants do sleep, but only for a 60 seconds. lol
