ANT QUEST

[X] Write-in: Develop Signaling Routine - By performing a basic dance when meeting and certain pheromone patterns, ants can protect the most important parts. Guards prevent entry so that what we did to the red ants doesn't happen to us, and checkpoints are made to close off areas. Eventually the imposter must kill, and we can narrow down their operational area.
 
[X] Ride around on the new nurse beetle's head. Monitor how much food it eats compared to the amount of ants it would take to do their part of the egg tending.

I still think they'd be more useful as a protein source. The food they eat could be turned into more ants instead.
 
There is already an instory way to infiltrate rival ant colony. First learn the way of nurse beetle. Then when your scout discovers a rival/enemy ant colony, you deploy one infiltrator ant who has learned the way of nurse beetle. Your infiltrator behaves as a nurse beetle, so that the enemy will bring him to the nursery themselves. Once there, wait for the optimum moment and then kill the queen. It is likely that your infiltrator will be unmasked and killed, but doing this decapitation strike at the cost of single one of our ant is worth it.
