‘Oh look, half of them are standing around doing nothing’

Are they sure it's half? I'll bet it's more like 47 percent.

Proverbs 6:6-8King James Version (KJV)

6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:

7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,

8 Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.

Same with beavers. They really aren’t that busy. They slap the water with their tails every now and then, then it’s back to sleep.

if EVERY ant is involved in transporting food, there are none available for defense.

Guard your supply lines.

Toss a spider in there and see how these ‘inactive’ ants behave
