The largest ant in the world is the African driver ant queen. She is 5 cm long and can lay as many as 1.2 million eggsper month to ensure the long life of the colony. Ants are relatively small (0.75 mm – 50 mm), light (500 milligrams) and clever. They each have about 250 000 brain cells compared with the 10 billion brain cells of humans. Their strength is their organisation and huge population. It has been estimated that their total weight on the Earth is about the same as the weight of the global population of 7 billion people. They are tough, fast and robust. Their crawling (walking) speeds have been estimated to be 75 mm/s and they can lift 50 times their own body weight. They can live as long as 30 years. Trap jaw ants have the fastest jaws in the animal kingdom with a closing speed of 230 km/h. In some parts of the world ants can provide a food source for humans. In Mexico, ants’ eggs are served as a luxury food dish known as escamoles, similar to caviar (expensive fish eggs) and costing £60/kg.

n the U.S. people generally use Bitcoin as an alternative investment, helping diversify a portfolio apart from stocks and bonds. You can also use Bitcoin to make purchases, but the number of vendors that accept the cryptocurrency is still limited. Big companies that accept Bitcoin include Overstock, AT&T and Twitch. You may also find that some small local retailers or certain websites take Bitcoin, but you’ll have to do some digging. That said, PayPal has announced that it will enable cryptocurrency as a funding source for purchases this year, financing purchases by automatically converting crypto holdings to fiat currency for users. “They have 346 million users and they’re connected to 26 million merchants,” says Spencer Montgomery, founder of Uinta Crypto Consulting. “It’s huge.”
Telegram announces Search Filters
With the help of the Search Filters option, users can now filter search results by type. They can do that by using the new tabs: Media, Links, Files and others. Searches can be done based on the particular time period like by typing in the date or even “Yesterday”.
