Insect sociality

Insect sociality refers to how some insects live cooperatively in organized colonies with specialized roles, such as workers, queens, and soldiers. This close cooperation enhances their survival and efficiency, allowing complex behaviors like nest building, caring for young, and defending territory. Examples include bees, ants, and termites. Their social systems are driven by communication, division of labor, and collective decision-making, making these insects highly successful in their environments. Sociality allows them to achieve tasks that individuals alone could not accomplish, demonstrating remarkable cooperation and organization within their colonies.
