Ants? That's amazing! I always though they had terrible vision just acute enough for orientation around landmarks and the sun. I never even knew they used vision to identify each other, let along themselves!

They do, but that paper shows they also use sight, with paint on their face causing them to get attacked and paint on their backs not causing agression in other ants.
