The claim that ants are entirely blind is directly refuted by scientific evidence showing that most ants possess functional eyes, utilize vision for foraging and navigation, and exhibit visual-motion responses.
The claim is specific and empirical, thus passing Step 0. The retrieved literature clearly contradicts the idea that ants are blind, noting that ants use vision for foraging (Paper 5) and possess visual processing systems that drive behaviors such as the optomotor response (Paper 9).
