In nature, if a predator damaged the entrance to a nest, would the ants repair it or would it depend on the cirumstance and amount of damage? Or does it depend on the specie of ant? Not sure why I came about asking these questions, but, it's interesting

Hi Drew.
Generally speaking, the ants would repair it as quickly as they could.

Agh, thanks for that.
Is there situations they might evacuate or anything?

If there was flooding in the nest. Which is a way to get the queen out of a nest in the wild. Just keep flooding until the ants come out. I have tried this and it takes a long time and didnt work. So I just did some digging and got her I think they would leave the nest too if it was to go bone dry.

Theres a specie (Thinks its in the mangrove forest) which has been found first on the ground, then the floodings would come cover up all ground and then later when the water was gone they would come back out. Some people made a small camera and sent it into the nest and they found out that the ants had made some special rooms which acted like air pockets under the water. Here the workers and the brood where placed while flooding. When the water was gone and the tunnels where emtied of water the brood was places out in rooms near the surfece becouse of the warmth. The workers would go out to forage whatever the water had left of food. Then the water would come back and the whole thing started over again Had nothing to with subject but I found it intresting, and wanted to share ;D
