All About Ants
Ants have been living on the Earth for more than 100 million years and can be found almost anywhere on the planet. It is estimated that there are about 20,000 different species of ants. For this reason ants have been called Earth's most successful species.
Ants build many different types of homes. Many ants build simple little mounds out of dirt or sand. Other ants use small sticks mixed with dirt and sand to make a stronger mound that offers protection from rain. Western Har ...

From a distant future they came.
Antoria had their home as a name.
From their planet of a faraway sun.
Time and space they traveled in a run.
Dance can they, and even talk,
and guess, in two legs can they walk.
Our planet Earth are they visiting now.
Could have they come just to milk a cow?
Or may the greedy ants be looking for gold?
or, wait! may they be studying the old?
Studying the old! yes that’s what I was told.
To discover their ancestral roots is their goal.

Ants have been acclaimed for their wisdom since ancient times. They stand out at, or near, the peak of invertebrate development, displaying memory, learning, and the ability to correct mistakes. However, these intelligences are trapped inside rigid and programmed behavior patterns.
Like human societies, ant communities have their own expertise at the three primary methods of obtaining food: gathering, hunting, and growing. The caste system of ants i ...

Ants are among the most successful insects. Experts estimate that there could be 20,000 or more species of ants in the world. They have evolved to fill a variety of different ecological niches as predators, herbivores, leaf-cutters, seed-harvesters, aphid- tenders, and fungus-growers. They are found in deserts and rainforests, mountains and valleys, from the Arctic Circle to the tip of South America. They are interesting organisms that should be studied to better understand their unique be ...

Ants
Ants are among the most successful of insects, and like termites, they are social insects
and live in colonies. Ants, however, evolved this social behavior separately from
termites and these two groups are not closely related. Ant colonies include a collect-
ion of workers, one or more reproductives, eggs, larvae, and pupae.
The colonies build intricate mazes of tunnels called the nest, which requires
much effort by the worker ants to maintain.

Ants
Insecta: Hymenoptera
General Information:
Ants are one of the few "social" insects, which means they live in colonies and individuals have specific tasks to perform within their society. Ants have two basic groups of individuals (castes): the reproductives and the workers.
Reproductives either act as the queen (or queens) who lays eggs, or as hundreds of swarmers (kings and queens) which set out to form new colonies when a colony has become too large. These swarmers are what you w ...

Ants - Ants are social insects that live in colonies. Ants have three body sections: head, thorax, and abdomen along with a pair of antennae. There are either one or two nodes between the thorax and abdomen. Ants have a complete metamorphosis with development through four stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult. The workers, queens, and males make up the three distinct castes of an ant colony. The workers are usually the only ones that are seen outside the nest. Ants can be both benefici ...

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT ANTS
1Like all insects, ants have six legs. Each leg has three joints. The legs of the ant are very strong so they can run very quickly. If a man could run as fast for his size as an ant can, he could run as fast as a racehorse. Ants can lift 20 times their own body weight. An ant brain has about 250 000 brain cells. A ...

An ant's body has three main body parts:(1) the head, (2) the trunk, (3) the metasoma. The main features of the head are the eyes, the antennae, and the mandibles. Three pairs of legs extend from the bottom of the trunk. An ant's internal organs include a brain, a nerve cord, and a tube shaped heart.

Biology
Fire ants are social insects consisting of a queen, workers, eggs and larvae. The queen lives in a protected nest which may be several feet deep. There may be several satellite ne ...

Insects: Fire Ants
Current Situation
The fire ant, by best estimates, was introduced into the United States in 1918 or 1919 through the Port of Mobile. However, it was not until about 1926 or 1927 that the ant was identified as a species within the fire ant group (Solenopsis). It is thought that the ant came into the port on ships from South America from parts of Brazil and Argentina. As ballast or goods were removed, fir ...

Nuisance Ants
You may find several ant species in your home. All ant species are unwanted in our homes because they are a nuisance and frequently are found near food.
Carpenter ants can do structural damage to our homes. The information given here is for those ant species exclusive of carpenter ants though many of the same principles apply to them.
Ants feed upon almost anything that people eat and on many other things as well. Most ant nests are outdoors in the soil and the workers forage ...

Red Imported Fire Ants (RIFA), Solenopsis invicta, are stinging insects that belong to the same order as bees and wasps. The RIFA now infests more than 318 million acres in the southern United States, where it has become a considerable agricultural pest and a significant health hazard.
The most significant problem associated with fire ants is their stinging behavior. The ants are very aggressive and will readily attack anything that disturbs their mound. Af ...

The pavement ant is an introduced species and is one of the most commonly encountered house-infesting ants in Pennsylvania. The ants were likely carried to the United States in the holds of merchant vessels during the 1700s to 1800s. These ships were filled with soil from Europe to provide ballast on the trip to the States. Once in port, the soil was removed, and goods were loaded on the ships to ...

Carpenter Ants
Carpenter ants can cause structural damage to wooden building components and spread disease-causing germs to foodstuffs. Black or black-with-red in colour, these insects measure between 3 and 12 mm (1/8" to 1/2") in length, and reproductive members of their colonies are winged. Swarms of reproductive ants can often be seen in May and June as they migrate to establish new colonies.

Red harvester ants are one of the more noticeable and larger ants in open areas in Texas. However, harvester ants are not near-ly as common today as they were during the earlier 1900s. The decline, particularly in the eastern part of the state, has caused some alarm because these ants serve as a major source of food for the rapidly disappearing and threatened Te ...

If you live in the United States, you live under the constant threat of costly damage caused by wood-destroying bugs. Identifying and understanding the behavior of these pests is the first step in creating an effective pest control plan.
Carpenter ants and termites are wood-destroying insects that cost us billions of dollars every year. More than 90% of the homes in the US are wood framed. But even homes built of masonry and steel serve up delicious wood treats to these pests. Left unchecked, they systematically destroy our homes and valuable wood objects in them.

Ants are one of the most common insects found around us. You get them in homes as well as in office buildings. They are pests because they travel to all kinds of places, including garbage areas, and may carry germs on their bodies. In this manner, they transmit diseases and cause food poisoning. In addition, some ants inflict painful bites.

(b) In this protected place (the nest, that does not necessarily have to be constructed, but can be a natural chamber under a rock, for instance) the queen starts to lay eggs, from which after a certain period, emerg ...

Carpenter ants are social insects which form large colonies. A mature carpenter ant colony may contain up to 3,000 individuals, but usually only one queen. Carpenter ants form nests in wood by tunneling against the grain. These g ...
