Ant Facts and Information
Ants come in different shapes and sizes, but there are three types of colonies: queens, workers, and males. Queens are fertile females that lay eggs. Workers are wingless females that get food, feed babies, take care of the nest, protect the colony, and don’t have babies themselves. Male ants have wings and their only job is to mate with queens during the swarming process.
Understanding Ants
Ants are insects that can be found all over the world. All ants have a few things in common. They have three sections of their body: a head, an abdomen, and a thorax. They also have six legs and bent antennae. Their legs and antennae are long compared to their bodies. Ants can be black, brown or reddish, and range in size from 1/16 of an inch to 1/2 inch. Most species of ants are not harmful to humans, but they can still be annoying if they invade your home.
