Ants, and wasps too, have an incredible variety of amazing resources. Some species will have more than one queen, other will cultivate fungus or sheep aphids, others make nests the size of a nut and others the size of the ecuator, some are parasitic of an specific specie. There are sun reflecting desert ants, amazonian river floating ants, container ants full of sweet for the colony, mechanical ants with cyborg-like mandibules with absurd power ratios, you have bridge building ants that use their own body. Their genetic tricks are amazing and diverse too.
It's better than sci-fi, if you like strange creatures, dive into myrmecology.
