Bury your electronics under a Saharan silver ant mount to protect them from EMPs.

Humans can control electromagnetic radiation from DC to X-rays.
And we know how it works to boot.

Great post, and I completely agree.
BTW: this desert ant story reminded my of this ant film:
Phase IV (1974) - IMDb
www.imdb.com/title/tt0070531/ Proxy Highlight
Phase IV — Desert ants suddenly form a collective intelligence and begin to wage war ..... This movie tries to tackle the subject in a quite serious fashion, without resorting to giant ants....

"Saharan silver ants keep cool by combining enhanced optical reflection and radiative heat dissipation,"... This isn't quite what is implied by "controlling electromagnatic waves". They have hairs that reflect heat and that are very efficient at dissipating heat but they aren't controlling EM fields, rather they are well adapted to light energy across a broad spectrum.
My dreams of getting bitten by a radioactive ant and gaining the power to control radios are effectively dashed.

“This is a telling example of how evolution has triggered the adaptation of physical attributes to accomplish a physiological task and ensure survival, in this case to prevent Sahara silver ants from getting overheated,”
Uhm, it can’t be that GOD designed them that way? They have to have “evolved”? Well, if they were missing one of these adaptations, would they have survived? Then how did their fore-ants?

Which provider do the ants use?
To: Red Badger
So how did the millions of intermediate Saharan Silver fore-ant progenitors, say starting from its single-celled progenitor until the penultimate Saharan Silver ant progenitor, handle the heat during that “evolutionary” progression to the current heat-proof Saharan Silver ant? All of these millions of intermediate forms must have been heat-proof also, somehow, right?
