    an unfertilized egg is just an egg.

    like chicken eggs are unfertilized eggs because no sperm fertilized them.

    If male ants are derived solely from the female gamete, the ovum, or egg, then male ants are eggs with legs, which is good, because it rhymes.

    sperm is a male gamete, a different little thing than the female gamete, an egg.

    as for the meme, they would all have grandfathers because the sperm was needed to make the queen who birthed the male ants, but none of them would have direct fathers, because the male ants are derived solely from the ovum of the queen.
