Ant facts:
Ants are fascinating little creatures! There are over 12.000 different species in the world. These little ants have a great way for communicating with each other, they even say hey every time they pass another ant! It is like they high five each other. The scientific name of the ant is Formicidae. Ants are strong, they can lift 20 times their own body weight! Try that for yourself, it will be around 1200 kilo. The average life span of the ant varies from several weeks to several years. They differ in size strongly. From 0.08 inches to 1 inch.
Ant communities are headed by a queen or queens, whose function in life is to lay thousands of eggs that will ensure the survival of the colony. Workers (the ants typically seen by humans) are wingless females that never reproduce, but instead forage for food, care for the queen’s offspring, work on the nest, protect the community, and perform many other duties. Male ants often have only one role—mating with the queen. After they have performed this function, they may die. Ants communicate and cooperate by using chemicals that can alert others to danger or lead them to a promising food source. They typically eat nectar, seeds, fungus, or insects. However, some species have diets that are more unusual. Army ants may prey on reptiles, birds, or even small mammals.
Ants have been around for millions of years and conquered the whole world (except for “ant”arctica). Let this army of friendly ants also conquer your home and create your own interior decoration!
