Apparently a butterfly has been discovered that uses, or I should say tricks, ants into raising its offspring.

Butterflies trick ants into raising young

 Now I know I am a rather lazy person, just ask my wife or one of my siblings. My wife can’t even use the trick of demasculating me by saying she will just have another man fix something. I sit there and think, great something else I don’t have to do. So you know if I could pawn off the upbringing of any future kids I may have I would be all for it. Ok not really but it would be nice if I could get the ants to do the dishes and take out the trash for me.

Think about it, cover the dishes in a chemical, ants come in, clean the dishes, ants leave. Sounds great, except for the ants part. I always have to put down some ant killer in the spring to keep them from coming in because I have had no luck in domesticating them or teaching them tricks. Of course I can’t secret chemicals, at least not the ones to guide the ants. Perhaps I could eat more beans, wait thats gas not liquid (hopefully) and more likely to kill them then to train them. But it would be nice to have a little army of trained ants to do my bidding.
