Ant biology

Ants are social insects that live in organized colonies with specialized roles. They have a caste system, including reproductive queens, male drones, and worker ants. Worker ants gather food, care for the young, and protect the colony. Ants communicate mainly through chemical signals called pheromones, which guide their activities and alert others to danger or food sources. They have strong exoskeletons for protection and are capable of complex behaviors like farming fungus and caring for their young. Their remarkable cooperation and adaptability make ants one of the most successful and widespread insect groups.
