"This is an excellent phenomenon observed.
In fact,a digital camera with some computer application can make a superb weather forcasting system,and if computer application predicts correctly which also can be automated by attaching a rain collector sensor"
Tapas Bhattacharyya, Instrumentation Engr., India
"When ants travel in a straight line look to see if they are carrying something that looks like an egg.
I once waited 45 minutes for a line of ants with eggs to pass before I could back out of my driveway.
BTW it was a nice day out."

"Ants always seem to be scattering."
David R, Retired Printer, USA
"I always seem to have a magnifying glass on sunny days to "watch" the ants fry."
John A. Van Doren, Life long learning and helping, USA
"One time I saw a line of ants outside my house carrying something like an axe....so I called off work. Where would they get an axe? But it didn't rain that day and my boss was pissed at me. "
John A. Van Doren, Life long learning and helping, USA
"I believe ants travel in a straight line when they have located food, and the trail is easily followed by other ants; it is also the shortest distance between two points: home and food."
Doug, Retired, USA
"Doug is right..according to an exterminator..the ants are traveling in a line because of the pharmones left for others to follow for food "
debbie coy, nurse, usa
"I live in a rural area so I don't have to bend down to watch the ants. Here, if the cows are bunched up in the corner of the pasture, expect rain."
muttmeister, retired teacher, usa
"I agree!"
jambhorkar, Private Servie, india
"They also start scattering if you spray them with ant killer."
