Ants are among a few kinds of animals that divide up their work. Ants are of
innumerable kinds. They are scattered wide over the world. Ants are called social
insects because of the way they live. They live in groups or colonies. An ant colony is
mostly made up of worker ants. The workers are female ants but they do not lay eggs.
Only queen ants lay eggs. The young queens and the male ants have wings. Some of
the worker ants of a colony gather food. Some do the house keeping and take care of the
queen and baby ants. Some guard the nest. The workers that guard the nest may be
bigger and have stronger jaws than the other workers. So they are called soldiers. Army
ants march from place to place and they even build bridges and rope ways with their
bodies by holding on one another. These ants are very fierce. Even elephants will try to
get out of the way of an ant army. An ant colony is often marked by an anthill. To make
rooms underground to line in, the workers carry sand up to the surface and dump it. But
not all ants live underground. Carpenter ants live in dead wood. Some ants live inside
people‟s houses. All ants have four stages in their life history. First, they are eggs, then
tiny worm like larvae, next pupae and finally full grown ants.
