Ants

 

 

 

 

Ants are common insects, but they have some unique capabilities.

 

 

Ants typically live in structured nest communities that may be located underground, in ground-level mounds, or in trees.

Ants communicate and cooperate by using chemicals that can alert others to danger or lead them to a promising food source. 

 

 

They typically eat nectar, seeds, fungus, or insects. However, some species have diets that are more unusual. Army ants may prey on reptiles, birds, or even small mammals.
