Ant foraging

Ant foraging is the process by which ants search for and collect food. They communicate with each other through chemical signals, known as pheromones, which they leave along their paths. When an ant finds food, it carries a scent trail back to the colony, allowing other ants to follow this trail to the food source. This collective behavior enables ants to efficiently locate and transport food, while also adapting to changing environments. The organized and cooperative nature of their foraging helps the colony thrive and demonstrates remarkable teamwork in nature.
