Or purchase heavy lifting hydraulic equipment from humans, or steal it, where it's rigged up for touchpad control an ant could manage. Or use ropes and pulleys to maneuver big things. Intelligent minds will find a way. | |

Apparently, some things don't scale, for instance a fire needs to be a certain size (that, for ants, would be gigantic) to make it hot enough to work metal, you can't make a small-but-equally-hot fire in a thimble. Though poison etc. might still be possible. | |
