Lesbian Ants?!?

There's a species of ants that only has females.  That's right, no males.  So how do they reproduce?  They must be lesbians, right?  No, apparently, they reproduce asexually.  (That's without sex.)  Apparently that's quite common in the ant world though.  Who knew?  That's not very exciting though.  I'd much rather have them all be lesbians.  It makes for a better story.  Way to get my hopes up animal kingdom.
