Social insects are insects that live in large, organized colonies with overlapping generations, division of labor, and cooperative care of the young. Examples include ants, bees, wasps, termites, and some species of beetles. These insects exhibit complex social behaviors, communication systems, and caste systems.
Ants are called social insects because they live in colonies, they divide up the work they need to do, and because the generations of ants in the colonies overlap. Honeybees are also social insects.
The insect that is called an anti-social insect is the ant. However, there are times when ants are referred to as social creatures.
One common insect in California that lives in the dirt is the California Harvester Ant. These ants create large underground colonies and forage for seeds on the ground surface. They are known for their distinct red color and aggressive stinging behavior.
