Ants Life and Behaviour
Ants at the Theme Park
At a UK theme park, Kwame and Anya notice a trail of ants near a dropped piece of fruit. They watch from a distance without touching the ants. One ant walks back towards a crack in the ground. Soon, other ants follow the same route. Some carry tiny crumbs, while others explore nearby. Ants communicate mainly using chemicals called pheromones. An ant can leave a chemical trail that helps others find food. Worker ants may gather food, care for the young, maintain the nest or defend the colony. Ants eat different foods, including sweet liquids, seeds and other small animals. Their life cycle has four stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult. The queen lays eggs, but workers do many of the jobs that help the colony survive.
