LINK Baby-Eating Ants Use Espionage, Chemical Warfare To Score Free Rent

When I read this I thought of the Christian god and his baby killing ways. Does this mean it's just ingrained in some species to be heartless or does this point to a malevolent "being". Thoughts on this post?

It's what they do. Part of natural selection process. Like lions hunt their prey these find their food this way. Morals r not part of their life like how humans think morally.

Insects are like many other species--they're programmed by chemistry and ''heartlessness'' has no meaning in their world. Empathy and compassion aren't necessary for them. There's no waste in nature and evolution pivots on that point. (WOW! I never said it in quite that way before...it's true.)

Very well put ?

Nature, red in tooth and claw.
