Not sure if this has been discovered already or if its not recognized but have you noticed how single water droplet seem to have more power to contain an ant than a larger body of water? Long story short, I trapped some ants in water today. The ones trapped in single water droplet seem to have a much harder time getting out/moving while the ones trapped inside a larger body of water (table spoon) worth of water can sometimes break out.

Is this due to pressure per square inch inside the single water droplet being much higher than larger body of water? Or is there something else at play that moves the single water droplet to move with the ant's movement thus trapping them?
