    4:17 Because it’s a Latin word and English speakers don’t know how to deal with it. “Larva” is singular, and “larvae” is plural. Since few English speakers know this, we wind up using them basically interchangeably. (“Datum” and “data,” “antenna” and “antennae,” and “alumnus” and “alumni” are some other common Latin words that retained their original plural forms. We misuse most of those, too.)

    Watching an rce video for 11:56 seconds before he finally decides to automate the most time sensitive part of the resource loop by doing what I was thinking could work sinse around 5 minutes in. I will say though that I am a bit impressed that you didn't decide the devider would be good for the nursing area, as you could aeasily devide them however you want from one devider and if you don't want the ants to be split evenly you could always just add another devider or make certain routes loop back to the first one depending on your reasuorce needs, I thought you would use these as you mentioned them shortly before as you discovered them in the game and you started using them right away but failed to see that the devider would be quite good a dispecing the ants to their jobs. ps he did the devider thing like 2 minutes later, very good Matt, do it first next time. Also MATT don't add 3 deviders and 2 cmbiners to make ''lv2'' workers for each side, make all the incubators go in to a or a line of combiners then use deviders to get them where you need them. it's essentially don't build a small farm in every state, build one really big one where you want it and spread your product from there

    The average lifespan of an ant depends on the species and caste. Generally, the larger the ant, the longer its lifespan. Queens and larger workers(present in some species) usually have longer lifespans than smaller workers. Larger species of ants also have longer lifespans than smaller ones.
