To be fair ants are worthy of that and more level of study.
The setup of their social interactions and ecology is incredibly complex and sophisticated for such an apparently basic organism. I did a degree in Zoology and one of the professors was an insect biologist. His specialism was actually dragonflies (and yes he had done a PhD and then some in dragonflies), but he would regularly go off on one about ant behaviour - it's genuinely incredible stuff.
