Ants

There are many species of ants, of different sizes and colors. But there is something that ants have in common and that is that anthills are organized into castes: queen ant, soldiers and the most numerous, worker ants.

The workers are in charge of gathering food, feeding the larvae and maintaining the good conditions of the anthill. Worker ants do not have wings.

Then there are soldier ants that, with their strong jaws, defend the colony from unwanted intruders.

Flying or winged ants have the task of creating new anthills. They fly away like a swarm and are the future king and queen of the new colony.

Finally, there is the queen ant, in charge of nourishing the anthill with new individuals, through daily laying of eggs.
