Ant behaviors

Ant behaviors are diverse and highly organized, driven by their social structure. Ants communicate using pheromones, chemical signals that convey information about food sources, danger, or colony needs. They work collaboratively to build nests, find food, and care for their young. Foraging ants leave scent trails for others to follow, while soldier ants protect the colony. Different species exhibit unique behaviors, such as farming fungi or herding aphids for honeydew. Overall, their cooperative nature and effective communication are key to their survival and success as a species.
