This is cool, because you'd think that being insects or an "inferior race" that ants don't have the social capability to appreciate life. This definitely gives me a different perspective towards all beings on the Earth in the sense that, we're not the only ones who "care." Then again, I could be way off and they could just need these two for digging and can't spare any workers at the moment LOL

Ants, wasps, termites, bees, etc. are all social insects.

i bet you they thought they were food. because ants recognize their own by pheromons. so Once they got to the ants they were probably like "Aww dam!" and decided to save them instead some ants collonies are canabolistic in the sense that they will retrieve their fallen and use them as a food source, but thats not in most cases. all for the queen!
