Taste the rainbow !!!

Mohamed Babu saw how an ants body changed colour when it drank some of his split milk. He decided to put down some coloured sugar water and BAM !!! Rainbow bellied ants. How crazy is that ?? 

Check out some of these crazy pictures he got. 

A good palette: Some of the ants even wandered from one colour to another, creating new combinations in their stomachs

 

Ring of colour: An ant's transparent abdomen shows the colour of the food they have eaten
Eating their greens: The ants seemed to prefer lighter colours such as greens and yellow to darker blues
