In the first year, I developed a portable recording video system of high quality to investigate the role of sound communication in ant colonies. Noise sound was intercepted by double-layer transparent plastic boards enclosing a small space where the insects were reared. The space was floored with a plastic paraffin paper connected with a microphone. This apparatus was put in a soundproof box with LED illumination and clear-vision video camera fixed on the box wall with a sound-absorbent sponge. I used it to collect sounds of myrmecophiles (e.g. Nyphanda larvae) and myrmicine ants including leaf-cutting ants Atta spp. which showed a high level of labor division and might be adopting sounds even for bilateral exchange ofinformation, which seemed analogous to our language.

在第一年，我开发了一个高质量的便携式记录视频系统，以调查声音通信在蚁群中的作用。噪音被双层透明塑料板拦截，并在其中围出一个小空间，供昆虫饲养。这个空间用一个塑料石蜡纸与麦克风连接。该装置放置在一个隔音箱中，箱壁上用吸音海绵固定有LED照明和清晰的摄像机。我用它来收集的声音myrmecophiles（例如Nyphanda幼虫）和myrmicine蚂蚁，包括切叶蚂蚁阿塔spp。这显示了高水平的劳动分工，甚至可能采用声音进行双边信息交换，这似乎类似于我们的语言。
