Formicidae (ants)

Formicidae, commonly known as ants, are small, social insects found almost everywhere in the world. They live in organized colonies or communities, often consisting of thousands or even millions of individuals. Ants communicate and work together to find food, care for their young, and build their nests. They have distinct roles, such as workers, soldiers, and queens. Ants play vital roles in ecosystems, including soil aeration and seed dispersal. Their complex behaviors and social structures make them fascinating subjects of study in biology and ecology.
