Ants live for only about two months, except for the fertile females who live for nearly a full year. Ants usually hatch in late spring. The workers exist only to sustain the colony, and they die in the late summer. The fertile females, or queens, though, hatch at the same time but survive until wint…er when they hibernate, and then emerge in the spring to lay the eggs from which the next year's ants will hatch.

How long does it take for an ant egg to hatch?
i hear it take's 1 month 8 to 12 weeks 14-26 days Generally ant brood go through 4 stages as they develop: egg>larvae> pupae (or, in some species, cocoon)> adult . Ant eggs are tiny at approximately 0.5mm in diameter and weighing about 0.0005g, and are kidney shaped. They have a smooth sticky surfac…e which enables them to bond together in a mass which aids adult ants to move them about more quickly, in case of emergencies for example; it is easier and quicker to carry many eggs in one go rather than having to pick each individual egg up. After about 14 to 23 days the larvae will emerge from the eggs looking very much like tiny maggots. As they grow they shed their skin, usually about 3 times in all, increasing in size with each moult from 1 mm to 4 mm. With each successive moult they become more hairy, with some of the hairs being hooked to enable, like the eggs, numbers of larvae to hook together for easier carrying, however, at the last moult the larvae are usually too heavy to hook together, and are carried singularly. There are some slight differences in the appearance of the larvae of various ant species, for example some are hairier than others. The larvae have no legs but they are capable of some very small movements such as bending their head toward a food source and, in some species, they can move along very slowly if necessary. When they feed they suck up the juices of solid foods brought to them by the adult worker ants, or they can receive regurgitated food from them. After about another 24 to 27 days, once the larvae have gone through all of the skin moults, they change into one final stage which is the pupae. Pupae look like white waxy ants that lay with their legs and antennae folded up against their bodies. Some species, such as Lasius Niger, do not have a pupa stage but the larvae will spin themselves a cocoon in which it will metamorphosis into the adult ant. To be able to spin a cocoon the larvae must be against a solid object, this could be the ground, wall of a chamber or, in some cases, the larvae will be buried in the soil to assist them in the spinning of the cocoon, only to be dug up again by the adult workers once the cocoon is completed. After, approximately, a further 13 to 28 days (about a total of 8 to 12 weeks from egg to adult ant), and again this varies according to species and ambient temperatures, the adult ant emerges from the cocoon looking very pale and soft. A newly born Lasius Niger ant is almost white at first but after a few hours it will darken to black and it's exoskeleton will harden. The particular job that each worker does within the colony depends on its age. New ants tend the queen and brood within the security of the depths of the nest. As the ant gets older so it will change jobs which take it nearer the surface of the ground until, nearer the end of its life, the ant will leave the safety of the nest and forage outside. This is a very cost effective way of life for the ants as it makes more sense to send an ant out into the dangers of the outside world that is far more experienced and nearing the end of its life, rather than send out a worker who is only a few weeks old. The life span of the ant varies from caste to caste, and species to species. The workers of some species live only for a few weeks, whereas other may live for several years. The queen of the tiny Pharaoh ant, Monomorium pharoanis , may live for only three months, but the queen of Lasius Niger can live for up to 15 years or so. Incidentally, the record for ant longevity is held by a queen of Lasius Niger who, in a German laboratory nest, lived for 29 years. (MORE)

How long can an ant live without its head?
Once, in an attempt to kill an ant, I actually decapitated itunintentionally. Horrified yet morbidly curious, I saw how long itsurvived, and I was surprised to notice it lasted about 10 minutesin a state of writhing and twitching. After that, it responded tostimuli for another 5 minutes or so and ev…entually died. What's interesting is how coordinated the movements are for thefirst few minutes. After this, however, the ant slowly losesfunctionality. *today(August 3rd 2014) a friend of mine managed to decapitate arather large carpenter ant, this was around 3PM. it is now 5:15 PM,and the ant's body is still alert, and reacts when you touch it.once it stops moving, I will post a time, so far over 2 hours ofactivity!

How long do ants stay in one habitat?
Firstly, the proper question is how long they will stay in one place or nest or something like that. A habitat is not the place , the home or burrow; it is the kind of place they inhabit , for example, forest, or desert, up trees or underground etc. Secondly, there are thousands of kind…s of ants and every species has different habits. Most will stay in the same burrow or nest for a season or a few seasons depending on the food supply and how long the queen lasts. Some will stay in that one place for generations, with many queens at a time replacing each other for years as the old ones die (Argentine ants are an example). Some of the army ants and soldier ants, such as Dorylus and Eciton, are on the move nearly all the time. For a while they may stay in one spot overnight, or for a few nights, then they may settle down in one spot for a few weeks while they hatch a lot of eggs and raise the larvae. Then it is back to the wandering life while they look for food animals to hunt in new places. (MORE)
