Want to get better at making decisions? Ask an ant

From democratic honeybees to self-aware flies, there's plenty we can learn from creepy crawlies about how to make better decisions.

Insects, on the other hand, despite their tiny, poppy-seed-sized brains, have a perhaps surprising amount of wisdom when it comes to decision-making. Many insect problem-solving skills have, in fact, inspired algorithms for efficient deliberation in real-world human industries.

That's why I use a magic 8 ball for all my big decisions! Ask again later. Hmm. /s
