Abstract
Ants are not the only species of insect that use social communication to gather and process information from their environment in order to shape their behaviour. In this chapter we consider a range of mechanisms drawn from the behaviour of a variety of insects, including honeybees, glow worms and locusts, and see how these can stylistically inspire the design of optimisation algorithms.
