Some Scientific marvels of the Qur'an (ANTS)

Ants are almost all famales. Male ants are only produced once in a great while and quickly die after mating. All the worker ants, as well as the queen ants, are famales. Also, ants communicate with each other and have a "language" all their own.
The arabic word for "ant" is a male-pattern noun: "Al Naml". But in the Qur'an, Allah says that Prophet Suleiman heard an ant speaking to "her" fellow ants telling them to run and hide to avoid being stepped on. A feminine form of the verb, "to say" is used: "Qalat", "She said." The ant was indicated to be a famale. No one in the world at that time even knew that ants had different sexes! In ayat 27:19, Prophet Suleiman is said to have been amused at "her speech." (27:18-19)
