The Ants

Ants are small, social insects belonging to the family Formicidae. They are known for their complex social structures, often living in large colonies or communities with a clear hierarchy, including a queen, workers, and drones. Ants communicate and work together to find food, care for their young, and protect their nest. They can be found almost everywhere on Earth, except Antarctica, and play crucial roles in the ecosystem, such as aiding soil aeration and seed dispersal. Ants also exhibit fascinating behaviors, like farming fungi and even engaging in warfare with other colonies.
