Multi-Colored Ants

Via: DailyMail

Some discoveries are made on accident. This is very true for scientist Mohamed Babu. One day his wife noticed an ant turned white after drinking some spilled milk on her counter. That's when Dr. Babu came up with an experiment to see if different colored substances would change an ants appearance.

Dr. Babu mixed sugar droplets with red, yellow, green, and blue dye, along with a waxy base to prevent spillage, and placed the drops in his garden. Soon enough the ants began to drink the liquid and change colors. Amazing!

Below are some photos of Dr. Babu's experiment.
