Ant fact file

Ants are insects. An ant has six legs, a pair of antennae and a body divided into three main parts. Ants use their antennae to sense their surroundings. Many ants live together in a nest called a colony. A colony may have a queen, workers and young ants. Workers gather food and care for the young. Ants eat different foods, such as seeds, insects and sweet substances. Some ants follow scent trails left by other ants to find food. Ants pass through four stages as they grow, from egg to adult. The larva hatches from an egg, grows, and changes into a pupa before becoming an adult.
