Societal insects
Societal insects, such as ants, bees, and termites, live in highly organized colonies where individuals work together for the benefit of the group. These insects often have specialized roles—like workers, soldiers, or reproductive queens—allowing the colony to efficiently gather food, defend against threats, and reproduce. Their complex social structure is maintained through communication and cooperation, enabling the colony to function almost like a single living organism. This social behavior provides resilience and adaptability, explaining why such insects thrive in diverse environments.
