Ants: Millimeter messengers
Hennigan, T. 2010.  Answers 5(2):62-65. CELD ID 23010

Abstract
The lone ant follows the path marked earlier by her companions. In her ceaseless search for food, she decides to veer off the trail and blaze a new path. Along the way, she releases a complex cocktail of chemicals to assure that, if her hunt is successful, other ants can locate her trail and lend a leg (or jaw).
