Ants setup their nest in the ground because of moisture, and ants live in large colonies, queen ant lays eggs and worker ants take care for the larvae, worker ants are also responsible for food and nesting needs. Ants are social and have developed a sophisticated communication system to sound an alarm when someone threatens their colonies.

The body of an ant is clearly divided into three sections:

1. Head

2. Thorax

3. Gaster

The new queens and males  are “flying ants” and have two pairs of wings. Males generally have small heads, large eyes, large thoraxes, and a pair of claspers at the end of the gaster. They fly and mate, males do not live very long. After mating,   new queens break off their wings and never fly again. Queen be distinguished from workers by their larger body size, larger thorax and larger abdomen. All workers are females.

Ants spoil food items, especially made of sugar. Although to people all ants looks pretty much the same but there are different species of Ants living on this planet with unique characteristics.  Ants build Colonies and some of its colonies can be found easily and eliminated.
