I said anatomically.
- lisper 2y agoSorry, I saw "clone" and thought you were talking about genetics. But you're wrong about anatomy too. There is a lot of variation in morphology between different insect types in a colony. https://www.antwiki.org/wiki/Caste_Terminology https://www.antwiki.org/wiki/Caste_Terminology
- KineticLensman 2y ago>> There is a lot of variation in morphology between different insect types in a colony Bees in a hive change their role (e.g. nursery, house-keeping, defence, food gathering) depending on their age but all these roles have the same morphology, unlike castes in ants.
- lisper 2y agoQueens look different. But your point is well taken. I guess I should stick to ants and termites as examples.
