Ant

Ants are social insects belonging to the order Hymenoptera, known for their highly organized and cooperative behavior. Ants typically live in complex colonies, often underground or in mounds, composed of a queen, workers, and males. They are found on virtually all land environments across the globe. Ants are omnivorous with a diverse diet, including insects, seeds, plant juices, carrion, and even human food. They communicate through chemical signals (pheromones) and work together in groups to move and hunt. Ants play significant roles in soil aeration and decomposition within ecosystems.
