Ants

You might think ants are creepy, crawly

pests. But the people who study them think

they are the most interesting insects on Earth.

Ants live and work together in a colony .

Colonies can range from about ants to

millions of ants.

Colony

(KOL - uh - nee)

Most colonies have three kinds of ants: at

least one egg - laying

queen

, other female

ants, and males.

Ant Jobs

Every ant has a job in the colony. The

queens job is to lay eggs. She keeps the

colony growing.

Male ants are called

with future queens. Drones often fly

away to find a new colony and queen.

Ant Nests
