Ants show other ants where the food is by making a path with a chemical they secrete. Usually a scout will return to the nest while laying this chemical, and it will prompt several ants to help collect food, from experiments I have conducted, the ants seem to lay a more concentrated trail depending on how good the food is, using soft mints, the ants seem to turn up in the several dozens to crack open the shell and gobble up all the minty goodness inside.

Ant larva eat the unfertilized eggs that the mother lays.
it takes ants approximitly 18 years to travel that distance. If you don't believe me set an ant free, come back in 18 years to that spot and there will be an ant there with a foreign bride drinking a margerita with an umbrella in it. Don't be to hard on him cuz all that walking probably pissed him off.
There is not much you can tell about only one ant other than it is probably a worker ant. Worker ants leave the nest to collect food.
