Screw with your head--think about how they evolved.  Slowly, incrementally, random successful behavior and attributes were selected that made them more likely to pick up hold a piece of leaf still, to pick up a larva, to move it back and forth, for it to secrete silk, or to have some ants be a storehouse fed and used by others or a gardener that tends fungus with bacteria.  Fucking amazing.
