What is an Ant?
Ants are small insects found all over the world. They are known for their incredible strength, able to carry objects much heavier than their own body weight. Ants live in organized communities called colonies, where they work together to build nests, find food, and care for their young. These colonies can be found in soil, wood, or even inside plants.
Most ants are brown, black, or red, and they have a hard exoskeleton that protects their body. They communicate with each other using chemicals called pheromones, which help them follow trails and signal danger. Ants are omnivores, meaning they eat a variety of foods, including plants, seeds, and other insects.
One fascinating species, the leaf-cutter ant, cuts leaves and carries them back to their nest. There, they use the leaves to cultivate a special fungus, which serves as their primary food source. Ants are truly remarkable creatures with complex social structures and behaviors.
