Summary
An experiment was conducted to trick harvester ants into thinking one of them was dead using oleic acid. This chemical, which does not harm the ants, caused the treated ant to behave as if it were deceased, leading other ants to treat it as such. The experiment demonstrated ants' unique communication through scent.
