Put the paragraphs in order.
- AThe short answer is “no”, although it is a difficult question to answer partly because of the sheer diversity of ants – there are 13,000 named species on the planet!
- BIt’s often said that ants can predict impending rain and respond by changing their behaviour.
- CBut is there any scientific evidence to support this piece of folk wisdom?
- DSome people say that if you see ants building their mounds higher, or building them from different materials, this might signal the coming of rain.
