Ants

Sometimes, I wonder--do ants know their hours are numbered when they bite? When I feel something crawling on my skin, often than not, it's an ant zigzagging its way up or down my legs or arms, and I will look at it and it will look back as though it understands what will happen next. Then, just a split second later, I will feel this zing--the prickly feeling of a bite, and I'm left with no choice but to blow it away or squish it to bits. I wonder, do they realize they'd die if they bite me, or they know they'll die anyway so they bite?
