All about Ants
Ants are social insects that live in colonies with a queen, workers and sometimes soldiers. Workers gather food, care for young and maintain the nest.
Ants communicate with chemical signals called pheromones.
Some colonies also have soldiers that protect the nest from danger.
An ant can leave a trail of scent to show other ants the way to food, and they can carry things many times their own weight. Ants are very strong for their size.
