Tiny ants would not walk across a small circle of saliva on the sidewalk. But one by one they instead picked up tiny bits of grass material and placed them on the wet circle, starting at the edge and gradually covering the entire wet circle. Is this normal ant behavior?
I thought they would avoid walking on the wetness, but was very surprised when a number of individual ants went right to work to cover over the whole wet spot.

Worker (labor) ant's are conditioned to follow paths set by the scout ant. The scout ant finds food sources. Worker ants will only follow that path and not deviate from it. This is how they can get from point a to point b and back again with out getting lost. They will find a way over any barrier place in the way rather than deviate from the set path marked out by the scout.

I have heard as fact that ants in Africa have been known to form a "ant " bridge across water where several ants hold on to the shore and other ants move across them and hold onto the "anchor" ants and so on until they form the bridge. When all are across the ones that started the bridge move across the bridge which is now "anchored" to the other side. The remaining ants move in a similar sequence. Clever little buggers.

I also know some of the ants drown will being a part of the bridge and their grip does not release thus puling other ants to their death.
