Reply to comment by jpsam7 in ELI5 - How does an ant colony escape from the rain? by jpsam7
The dirt the colony is in will be more wet after a rain, but the colony itself isn't going to flood with water during a normal rain event. Water poured on the ground tends to soak into the ground...in places where it actually forms puddles, you tend not to get ant nests.
