Ants Information With Pictures
 Ants Ants are insects which always live in groups or colonies. There may be 100.000 ants in a colony but they all have the same mother. She is called the queen ant. The ants that you are most likely to see are called workers. These are all females, yet they are unable to lay eggs, for their six organs are not fully developed. Most ants do not have wings, as they live in sheltered nests, where wings would get in the way. But for a short time each year, usually on a warm, muggy day, the air is full of flying ants. These are the males and the egg-laying females, leaving the nest for their mating flight. After mating, the males die, but the females begin to make new nests to lay eggs in. Their wings break off and the muscles which enable them to fly are used to give them energy until the first young workers hatch. From then on the workers collect food for themselves, their young sisters and the queen. Some of the later workers may become soldier, growing large and helping to protect the nest, by biting and squirting acid at enemies. Ants feed on many kinds of food. Some hunt other animals, some feed on seeds and some eat a kind of fungus that they grow on a compost of leaves especially gathered. Most ants like sweet things and some milk aphids of their honeydew. In most of the things that ants do their behavior is innate, which means they do not have to think about it, or learn how to do it. |
