Worker ants
Worker ants are sterile female ants responsible for maintaining the colony. They perform various tasks such as foraging for food, caring for the young, building and repairing the nest, and defending the colony from threats. Their roles can vary based on the colony's needs and the ant species. Worker ants communicate with each other using chemical signals called pheromones to coordinate activities efficiently. They are essential for the survival and functioning of the colony, acting as the workforce that supports the queen and ensures the colony's growth and stability.
