The History of Ants
Ants are insects that we find everywhere. They
may be in your home, under your school desk, in
the bathroom or in the grass during a picnic. There
are more than 12,000 types of ants all around the
world.
In a colony there are three types of ants. These
are the queen, the males and the female workers.
A colony can also have more than one queen. The
male ants and the queen both have wings, but
workers don’t. Soldier ants protect the queen ant
and the colony. They also collect food and take
care of the colony.
The job of the queen ant is to lay eggs for the rest of her life. Some queen ants
can live up to several years and have million babies! When the queen of the ant
colony dies, the colony does not survive for long.
Ants don’t have ears; they listen to the vibrations through their little feet.
Ants breathe through tiny holes in their entire body because they don’t have
lungs like us human beings. When ants are looking for food, they leave chemical
trails so that they know where all they have already been.
Did you know that an ant can lift 20 times its own weight? This means that if a
second grade student was an ant, they would be able to pick up a car!
